The 'exit' function in the 'sys' module.

Yes : sys.exit (value)
See the library docs for details.
However, IMO this is normally the wrong thing. I would normally raise
an exception, and the outer level of processing would have a try block
that catches all exceptions (by name for those which can be
anticipated) reporting details of why the program stopped.
Should you decide that later that you only want to abort part of your
app (e.g. to go back to the main menu), an exception can handle this
quite naturally.

....and that's what sys.exit does on your behalf: it raises the
built-in exception SystemExit. If you choose to use a raise
statement explicitly, you can then also use your own exception
classes, subclassed from the system-provided ones, for finer
grained control. Admittedly, however, such needs are typically
rather advanced ones; for many applications, such fine-grained
control may well not be necessary.

Yes, but you can choose to do that with SystemExit as well, if you
wish. Stylistically, there is something to be said both for and
against, of course.

But if you (Simon) really want to just exit unconditionally , it's
os._exit(code)

Do you want to clean up open file handles and such, including
properly freeing up any held resources, before terminating
the application? Or are you looking for the ugliest, dirtiest,
fastest way out, regardless of the damage it might cause?
Choose between sys.exit() or os._exit() as needed.

<vent> I see there has been traffic over the years on this gripe, so just
let me vent my frustration, and add another reason why 'exit' (or possibly
exit() or quit() or halt() or some such) should exit Python, rather than
giving the ridiculous msg
Use Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit.
The additional reason is that God intended Ctrl-D to be "scroll down", as in
vi. I have my keyboard translator set up to do something very much like
that...

is it possible to somehow "jump out of" an ASP page that is executed from

im not sure if this is possible but any help would be much appreciated.

Is there a way to exit all running procedures with one command?
Sometimes a procedure(1) will call another procedure(2) which could call a

I have a small C program that restarts a python based server
application if the exit value of the

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
