Query Button Name when clicked

In Maya:

I am building a dynamic UI which creates for each character a button with the characters name. To keep stuff simple I want to print the name of the button when it is clicked. I can't get it to work, because the buttons are create with just one btn=cmds.button('%sBtn'%character,c="print btn") line. So when I click the button only the last created button in the for loop is printed.. Any ideas?

Solution 
  • cmds.window( width=150 )
cmds.columnLayout( adjustableColumn=True )
for i in range(5):
    btnName = 'button'+str(i)
    btnCmd = ('print \'%s\'')%(btnName)
    cmds.button( btnName, label='Button 1', command=btnCmd )
cmds.showWindow()
