I think you could have it easier, if you just want to exit you
application with the quit button:

class MyWidgets(Frame, CommonStuff):
     def __init__(self, CS):
         Frame.__init__(self, CS.frame)
         self.quitbutton = Button(self, text='Quit', fg='red',
                                   command=self.quit)
         self.quitbutton.pack(side=LEFT)
         self.hi_there = Button(self, text='Hello', command=CS.say_hi)
         self.hi_there.pack(side=LEFT)

     def quit(self):
         print "Quitting..."
         sys.exit(0)

If you want to run it from within the interpreter (I am not sure if it
is that what you are trying) the following might work too:

 class Application:
     def __init__(self, master):
         self.frame=Frame(master)
         CS = CommonStuff(self.frame)
 
         displayedwidget=MyWidgets(CS)
         displayedwidget.grid(row=0, column=0)
         self.frame.grid(row=0, column=0)
         displayedwidget.bind("<Destroy>", self.quit)
         self.frame.update()
         
         self.master = master

     def quit(self, event):
         print"Quitting..."
         self.master.destroy()  # Destroy root window

However I would recommend to store the code in a file and then run the
file.
I am sorry that I cannot give you more detailed advice, but I am still
a beginner, too. I hope this helped anyway.

Good luck!
