The pre-defined "Quit" menu entry that comes with Tk/Aqua is in the 
application menu, not the file menu. In my two Python/Tk apps, hitting 
"Command-Q" quits them without any code on my part--Tk is invoking the 
standard "quit" event.

If "Quit" is in the "File" menu, then it's not the pre-existing 
one--you'l have to handle that yourself.

If I'm misreading you, and you are talking about the "Quit" entry in the 
app menu, try something like this:

self.bind('Command-Key-Q', lamdba event: sys.exit())
