Nov 3, 2013 · After all, one of the most likely things a newbie will try to exit Python is typing in quit. Nevertheless, quit should not be used in production code. This is because it only works if the site module is loaded. Instead, this function should only be used in the interpreter. exit() is an alias for quit (or vice-versa). They exist together simply ...

Oct 23, 2012 · Now Quit will be whatever the user typed in, so let's check for "Q" instead of True: if Quit == "Q": Instead of sys.exit(0), you can probably just end your while look with break or just return if you're in a function. Also, I don't recommend the name "Quit" for a variable that just stores user input, since it will end up confusing.

A simple return statement will 'stop' or return the function; in precise terms, it 'returns' function execution to the point at which the function was called - the function is terminated without further action.

To quote from the qt docs: After this function has been called, the application leaves the main event loop and returns from the call to exec(). The exec() function returns returnCode. If the event loop is not running, this function does nothing. [emphasis added]

Perhaps out of ignorance (I see many beginners just doing except:), perhaps because they really want to catch all exception out of some misguided sense of "reliability" (sometimes seen in intermediate programmers), perhaps because catching (almost) all exceptions really is the correct thing to do at this point, e.g. you're running arbitrary code (e.g. a …

Nov 5, 2013 · You can also do it if you use the exit() function in your code. More ideally, you can do sys.exit(). sys.exit() which might terminate Python even if you are running things in parallel through the multiprocessing package. Note: In order to …
