To be pedantic its a method of tkinter since its
part of a class definition. For the distinction between
a function and a method see yesterday's thread
"Unbound Method Error"

One pragmatic difference between them is that help
on functions is located in module level documentation,
help on methods is located in class level documentation.
So recognising a method call helps in directing the
search for help!
