I'm currently learning Tkinter and I cannot find a solution for my problem here nor outside Stackoverflow. In a nutshell, all events that I bind to my widgets are triggered initialy and don't respond to my actions.
In this example, the red rectangle appears on the canvas when I run the code, and color=random.choice(['red', 'blue']) revealed that the event binding doesn't work after that:
import Tkinter as tk
class application(tk.Frame):
def __init__(self, master=None):
tk.Frame.__init__(self, master)
self.can = tk.Canvas(master, width=200, height=200)
self.can.bind('<Button-2>', self.draw())
self.can.grid()
def draw(self):
self.can.create_rectangle(50, 50, 100, 100, fill='red')
app = application()
app.mainloop()
I use a Mac platform, but I haven't got a clue about its role in the problem. Could anyone please point me at the mistake i did here?
