Take advantage of what you can do in a language like Python. You can pass extra arguments to your event callback function, like so.

import functools

def __init__(self):
    # ...
    for i in range(10):
        name = 'Button %d' % i
        button = wx.Button(parent, -1, name)
        func = functools.partial(self.on_button, name=name)
        button.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, func)
    # ...

def on_button(self, event, name):
    print '%s clicked' % name

Of course, the arguments can be anything you want.
