(setq 'compile-command ...) == (setq (quote compile-command) ...)

Either use (setq SYMBOL ...) or (set (quote SYMBOL) ...)

Try this:

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (local-set-key [f10] 'compile)
            (set (make-local-variable 'compile-command)
                 (format "cvc cook %s"
                         (file-name-nondirectory buffer-file-name)))))
