Run Command from python-mode

[Kevin Harriss]

I am using python-mode and I would like a similar solution to mapping
f10 to compile with csharp mode.  I would like f10 mapped to the command
'cvc cook <filename>' I was wondering what variable in python-mode would
need to be modified.  I currently have this in my .emacs 
(setq 'compile-command "cvc cook")
(local-set-key [f10] 'compile)
 When I open a python file I get this error 
File mode specification error: (wrong-type-argument symbolp (quote
compile-command))

Thanks in advance,

Kevin
