I'm not familiar with tkinter syntax, but why not:

b1=3DButton(f, text=3D'char1', command=3Dlambda: insert_char(1))
b2=3DButton(f, text=3D'char2', command=3Dlambda: insert_char(2))

or even:

b1=3DButton(f, text=3D'char1', command=3Dlambda: insert_char(u"\u20ac"))
b2=3DButton(f, text=3D'char2', command=3Dlambda: insert_char("... some othe=
r
char..."))

Seems weird to multiplex like that, but if there's a good reason for
it, sure. I'm more of a GTK person than tkinter, and more of a
command-line guy than either of the above.
