🔒 Programmatically exiting python interpreter mode

[robust swift]

This one's kind of hard to google, so I'm asking here.

I'm running a script (on Windows command line, but I'm not sure it matters) with python -i main.py. If I use quit() in the script, it exits me out into the interpreter mode. My question is: is there some sort of 'higher level' of quit() that causes it to exit from the interpreter entirely? Yes, I'm aware I can just drop the -i flag, but having both capabilities available would be useful to me.

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

what -i does

import os

os._exit(0)

this terminates the whole process instead of exiting the python program gracefully

so it skips the -i introspection afterwards

oho, thank you!
