I have written some similar code to this - you give each button a
different name through an interator.

You can see my code at:

http://www.sf.net/projects/jiletters and follow the links to the CVS
code repository.

For that, I used wxPython, but it's up to you what you go for. 

The main part that may be useful to you is:

        for i in noduplicatesalphabet:
            identity = int(D[i]) + 29 # It's quicker to add 29 than go
through and edit the dictionary by hand
            bmp = wxBitmap('alphabet_graphics/' + i + '.bmp', wxBITMAP_TYPE_BMP)
            self.grafic =wxBitmapButton(self,
identity,bmp,wxPoint(160,20),
wxSize(bmp.GetWidth()+10,bmp.GetHeight()+10))
            self.sizer2.Add(self.grafic,1,wxEXPAND)
            EVT_BUTTON(self, identity, self.ButtonPushed)

The noduplicates is a list that I generated by hand, but you could do
this in a range(a,b) way if it's not attached to any particular data
or meaning.

The EVT_BUTTON passes the id to the function self.ButtonPushed, which
then can tell which button was pushed.
