Tkinter: How to disable a button after it is pressed?

Question

So I am trying to make hangman in python using Tkinter and I have mostly finished the game but, I want to add a feature that disables the button once it is pressed so that the user doesn't guess the same letter twice. Any idea how I can implement it.

Not only do you overwrite the button object when you create all the buttons, the button object will also be None because place() doesn't return anything. Split that line in two:

button = Button(...) and
button.place(...)

But even then the button object is overwritten for each new button, so the button object takes the value of the last button 'z'.

To disable individual buttons, you need to be able to access each of them, eg by putting all objects in a list: button[n] = Button(...) Then in the guess() function you must disable exactly that button that was pressed.
