Exit to command line in Python
- by fuenfundachtzig
I have a script that I want to exit early under some condition:
if not "id" in dir():
print "id not set, cannot continue"
# exit here!
# otherwise continue with the rest of the script...
print "alright..."
[ more code ]
I run this script using execfile("foo.py") from the Python interactive prompt and I would like the script to exit going back to the command line. How do I do this? If I use sys.exit(), the Python interpreter exits completely.
