(Note: using exceptions for exits is a python practical work-around for C/C++/Java devs always inappropriately calling exit-- hence python programmers may not notice the stench of this code smell as much); and lastly, (3) multi-threaded code (which pythonistas have historically just …

Nov 5, 2013 · To stop a python script using the keyboard: Ctrl + C. To stop it using code (This has worked for me on Python 3) : import os os._exit(0) you can also use: import sys sys.exit() or: exit() or: raise SystemExit

Jan 26, 2010 · Prints "aa! errors!" and exits with a status code of 1. There is also an _exit() function in the os module. The sys.exit() function raises a SystemExit exception to exit the program, so try statements and cleanup code can execute. The os._exit() version doesn't do this.

The Python library reference explicitly states that those functions should only be used in the interactive interpreter and not in programs. – alldayremix Commented Feb 23, 2013 at 19:54

@kramer65: A program exit code of 0 means "finished without errors". Since the sys.exit call appears to be caused by an error, it should yield a program exit code that is not 0. 1 is just a suggestion. –

Sep 24, 2019 · From the Code Runner extension marketplace page, you have the following options: To stop the running code: use shortcut Ctrl + Alt + M; or press F1 and then select/type Stop Code Run; or right click the Output Channel and then click Stop Code Run in context menu; YMMV with the Ctrl + Alt + M shortcut, which does not work for me for some reason.

May 20, 2022 · I am just starting out in learning python and I was trying to create a word guessing game where I have a secret word and the user has 3 attempts to guess it. I basically finished the game but am stuck on one part of it. Whenever I run my code, and guess the word in the first try, the terminal prints two successful print statements.

May 2, 2018 · Once you've attached the debugger, you can set a breakpoint in your code and the program will stop when it hits that line the next time. Then you can inspect all variables and run some code via the 'Evaluate' feature. This code may save whatever variable you need. I've tested this with PyCharm 2018.1.1 Community Edition and Python 3.6.4.
