I want to insert a button into listbox like inserting a sting. How can I do this?

You can't. From the listbox documentation: "A listbox is a widget that displays a list of strings".
You can, of course, use pack, place or grid to put a button inside the widget but it won't be part of the listbox data -- it won't scroll for example, and might obscure some of the data.

Do you happen to have an alternative to propose?
An alternative to a ListBox is a scrollable frame;
import functools
try:
from tkinter import *
import tkinter as tk
except ImportError:
from Tkinter import *
import Tkinter as tk#
window = Tk()
frame_container=Frame(window)
canvas_container=Canvas(frame_container, height=100)
frame2=Frame(canvas_container)
myscrollbar=Scrollbar(frame_container,orient="vertical",command=canvas_container.yview) # will be visible if the frame2 is to to big for the canvas
canvas_container.create_window((0,0),window=frame2,anchor='nw')
def func(name):
print (name)
mylist = ['item1','item2','item3','item4','item5','item6','item7','item8','item9']
for item in mylist:
button = Button(frame2,text=item,command=functools.partial(func,item))
button.pack()
frame2.update() # update frame2 height so it's no longer 0 ( height is 0 when it has just been created )
canvas_container.configure(yscrollcommand=myscrollbar.set, scrollregion="0 0 0 %s" % frame2.winfo_height()) # the scrollregion mustbe the size of the frame inside it,
#in this case "x=0 y=0 width=0 height=frame2height"
#width 0 because we only scroll verticaly so don't mind about the width.
canvas_container.pack(side=LEFT)
myscrollbar.pack(side=RIGHT, fill = Y)
frame_container.pack()
window.mainloop()
