[Tutor] GUI Buttons

[Albert-Jan Roskam]

Hi Alan and Kent,

Thank you for helping me. This is a lot simpler than the solution I had in mind. The button names in my program always start with "button_", so I wanted to use locals() in a list comprehension to compile a list of the buttons. But then I'd still have the names and not the instances. 

But when is the configure() method more appropriate to change e.g. the button status?

Cheers!!
Albert-Jan
