I don't know the details of the Tkinter library, but you could find out
what quit is being passed by modifying it to take a single parameter and
printing it out (or using pdb):

    def quit(param):
        print(param)
        sys.exit()

Having taken a quick look at the documentation, it looks like event
handlers (like your quit function) are passed the event that triggered
them.  So you can probably just ignore the parameter:

    def quit(_):
        sys.exit()


Cheers,

Dan
