How to exit after a try exception?

[ichabod801]

I had looked for "exit" in the index of the Python books I have and it's not even listed.  One book does have "SytemExit" in the index but how would a newbie know the keywords to search for?  Python book authors can spend so much time writing their books but so little time in making their index capable for newbies who don't know the proper keywords.

It's in the sys module. Check out the sys documentation.
