In a python program I ask if the user wants to continue. If they answer

at raising an exception, and perhaps this is the preferred method, but

There's the C-like:
from sys import exit
exit(return_code)
Or if you prefer exceptions, the standard way is:
raise SystemExit
I prefer to put the code inside a function, and just `return` earlier.
Having a sys.exit() in the middle of a function means that it's not
reusable; I usually have a single exit() at the end.
def do_work():
do some work
ask the user
if not continue:
return 0
do more work
return 0
if __name__=='__main__':
try: sts = do_work()
except: sts = 1, log exception
sys.exit(sts)
