exiting Python

[beliavsky]

I think exiting Python with 'Ctrl-Z plus Return' is awkward. Why not
something simpler like ':q[uit]'. Since ':q' is currently invalid
syntax, I don't think using it to quit Python would break anything.

class SimpleExit:
def __repr__(self):
print "Python: Sssssssee you!"
import sys
sys.exit(0)

q = SimpleExit()

Include this in your PYTHONSTARTUP and you're done. Just type

whenever you want to exit and avoid conflicting use of q in
interactive sessions.
