I haven't tested this, but it looks like the i[1] used below 
  will be i[1] as it stands when the menu event actually 
occurs -- not as it stands when you bind the menu event.

Maybe try
     lambda e:self.event (ii=i[1])
to bind the current contents of i[1] with the name ii and 
call your function with that.

As I say, I haven't tested this,

         Good Luck.        Mel.
