Well, what happens when you remove the root.mainloop()?

Your other errors will occur simply because of the way you have
defined quit.  Change it like so:

>>> from Tkinter import *
>>> root = Tk()
>>> def quit():
...   print "Hello, I must be going"
...   root.destroy()
... 
>>> widget = Button(root, text="Hello, event world", command = quit)
>>> widget.pack()
>>> # click on button
>>> Hello, I must be going

This should definitely work.
