Not sure I fully understand your question.  Do you mean to 
return from Tkinter's mainloop() call?

If so, then find a widget, any widget will do (even root), and do a:

   <wgt>.quit()

e.g.:

   >>> from Tkinter import *
   >>> root = Tk()            
   >>> btn = Button( root, text="Hit me to quit", command=root.quit )
   >>> btn.pack()
   >>> root.mainloop()
   >>>                     <---------- we're here after you click the button
