They are instances of the same type >>> import inspect >>> type(quit) is type(exit) True >>> print(inspect.getsource(type(quit))) class Quitter(object): def __init__(self, name, eof): self.name = name self.eof = eof def __repr__(self): return 'Use %s() or %s to exit' % (self.name, self.eof) def __call__(self, code=None): # Shells like IDLE catch the SystemExit, but listen when their # stdin wrapper is closed. try: sys.stdin.close() except: pass raise SystemExit(code) There is no difference, except for the name attribute and the repr() text: >>> exit.name, exit.eof, exit ('exit', 'Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF)', Use exit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit) >>> quit.name, quit.eof, quit ('quit', 'Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF)', Use quit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
