How to exit python script in if statement

Question

I am using Python 3.2 and trying to exit it after user input that they don’t want to continue, is there any code that will exit it in the if statement inside the while loop? I already tried to use exit() , sys.exit() , sys.quit() , quit() and raise SystemExit .

Answer 1

This works great for me:

 while True: answer = input('Do you want to continue?:') if answer.lower().startswith("y"): print("ok, carry on then") elif answer.lower().startswith("n"): print("sayonara, Robocop") exit() 

edit: use input in Python 3.2 instead of raw_input
