I personally prefer to use lambdas
in such a scenario, because imo it’s clearer and simpler and also doesn’t force you to write lots of wrapper methods if you don’t have control over the called method, but that’s certainly a matter of taste.
That’s how you’d do it with a lambda (note there’s also some implementation of currying in the functional module, so you can use that too):
button = Tk.Button(master=frame, text="press", command= lambda: action(someNumber))
