right, the label isn't necessarily the best key. yous can use the Label, 
you can use the ID (which you can get by .getID(), after creating the 
object with the default).

Most importantly though -- this is Python! it's been said before in this 
thread, but it bears repeating: you can any attribute you want to any 
object, no problem at all. For instance, using the previous example, I 
might do:

            for label in rows:
                button = wx.Button(self, wx.ID_ANY, label)
                button.SetMinSize((30,30))
                button.NumberValue = int(label)
                self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.button_handler, button)
                button_sizer.Add(button)
  ...

    def button_handler(self, event):
        Value = event.GetEventObject().NumberValue
        .. Do something with Value....
