have you tried to do something like

def test():
    print('hello')
root.wm_protocol('WM_GETOBJECT', test)

I have no idea what WM_GETOBJECT does and if there is any chance that
this will work, though :)

I realize that command does have its fascination, even under
circumstances such as these, but I neither enjoy the idea of command
nor am I frightened of it.  It simply exists, and I will do whatever
logically needs to be done.
