Self terminate a python program

[Ernesto]

how do you self terminate a python program from within the code?

something similar to exit(0) in C.

I think the problem is that I'm using subprocess and popen to launch a
'.exe' file and python is "waiting" on the .exe file to finish. since
it never does, the python program won't end. how can I force it to end?

Inspection and control of the Python runtime system is mostly within
the 'sys' module.

In this case, 'import sys; help(sys.exit)' will be of assistance.
