Method to end a Script

The module sys delivers a method, to terminate a python program:

>>> import sys

>>> sys.exit()

alternatively:

raise SystemExit

sys.exit() raises the SystemExit exception.

If it is not handled, the Python interpreter exits; no stack traceback is printed.

If the associated value is a plain integer, it specifies the system exit status; if it is None, the exit status is zero; if it has another type (such as a string), the object’s value is printed and the exit status is one.

Another way to exit: quit()
