	There aren't enough such to take a plunge...

	There's the PDF format Tkinter reference guide (which I find
practically unusable unless one already knows the terminology of TCL/Tk)

	There's an old Manning "Tkinter in Action" (which goes back to when
PMW was the great add-on to Tkinter, before Tix; ie, a decade ago).

	There are Tkinter chapters in various Python textbooks (like
Programming Python)

	Though to be honest, your initial question and sample code indicates
more a need to study algorithms and data structures in general, and
Python in specific (a simple loop, a dictionary for handling dynamically
generated "variable names", etc.) -- so Programming Python might be a
recommendation (if that's too deep, start with "Learning Python")
