Method 1

Assuming that your function doesn’t actually use the event object in its body, the simplest solution is to make the event parameter optional:

def printword(event=None):
    print("hello")

This lets you call it without parameters (printword()), while also allowing it to accept the argument passed in from tkinter’s event handling mechanism.
