[Tutor] tkinter events: <B1-Motion>

[Zsiros Levente]

So, in the following line

self.can.bind("<ButtonRelease-1>",lambda x:self.handler(x,'release'))

the event-handler will call handler(event, 'release') when the 
mousebutton is released, but the 'self' reference is automatically 
passed over, so the result will be the handler(self,event, 'release') call.

Correct me, if I'm wrong.
