would think that the root window is exited by using the "X" windows close
button? If this is the case, you can bind the window manager event
WM_DELETE_WINDOW to a handler. Try this:
root = Tk()
...
... some other codes
# --------------------------
# to bind the window manager's CLOSE event to a fn
# --------------------------
root.protocol( "WM_DELETE_WINDOW", my_function )
# so when the user press the "x" button, my_function is executed. Write
watever code you need in my_function(), and at the end of
# the function, you can execute root.destroy to close the application.
