Or, if in a function body, you could insert a `return` statement. When in top-level code, invoking `sys.exit` (or exit/quit) can do the trick. A ``raise Exception`` might help, too, but could be kinda distracting sometimes. So, there is no general purpose solution as perl has it (I guess that __END__ works everywhere at least), rather different solutions for different cases. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
