How to make a button destroy itself?

How do I make the destroy button destroy itself with the destroy() function, and still be able to make a new destroy button with the create button?

from tkinter import Button, Tk

def create():
    b2 = Button(root, text='Destroy', command=destroy)
    b2.pack()

def destroy():
    b2.destroy()

root = Tk()

b1 = Button(root, text='Create', command=create)
b1.pack()

root.mainloop()

Try this:

from tkinter import *

def create():
    b = Button(root, text='Destroy')
    b.config(command=destroy(b))
    b.pack()

def destroy(button):
    def inner():
        button.destroy()
    return inner

root = Tk()

b1 = Button(root, text='Create', command=create)
b1.pack()

root.mainloop()

We create a different callback for each new button, so we don't have to worry about scopes, and we can have more than destroy-able button.
