Here's a non-OO variant:

funcs = []
def call(event):
    for f in list(funcs): # *
        f(event)
root.bind("<1>", call)

funcs.append(test)
funcs.append(test2)
root.bind("<1>", call)

def unbind():
    print "unbind"
    funcs.remove(test2)

I does the same, but is a bit harder to manage if you have more than one
event/widget to deal with.

(*) iterating over a copy of the list of functions is slightly more robust
as it will not accidentally skip callbacks when the original list is
modified during iteration. I suggest that you change the OO version
accordingly.
