how to exit a python script in an if statement +1 vote I'm using Python 3.2 and trying to exit it after the user inputs that they don't want to continue, is there code that will exit it in an if statement inside a while loop? I've already tried using exit(), sys.exit(), sys.quit(), quit(), and raise SystemExit.

This works fine for me:

while True: answer = input('Do you want to continue?:') if answer.lower().startswith("y"): print("ok, carry on then") elif answer.lower().startswith("n"): print("ok, sayonnara") exit()

edit: use input in python 3.2 instead of raw_input

Hope it helps!!

import sys # to exit the code sys.exit() commented Sep 22, 2020 by MDG

Hi, @MDG,

Importing sys will not be enough to make exit live in the global scope.

You either need to do

from sys import exit exit() commented Sep 22, 2020 by Gitika • 65,730 points

Hey All,

Here is my solution to all the above doubt:

To stop code execution in Python you first need to import the sys object. After this you can then call the exit() method to stop the program from running. It is the most reliable, cross-platform way of stopping code execution. Here is a simple example.

  1. import sys
  2. sys.exit()

In Python, the break statement provides you with the opportunity to exit out of a loop when an external condition is triggered. You'll put the break statement within the block of code under your loop statement, usually after a conditional if statement.

Instead of using the normal UTF-8 encoding, which is the industry standard, I transformed the code that I extracted from a webpage into this encoding.
