According to the docs (and various other sources), the global variable "exit" is provided by the site module and is only for use at the interactive prompt -- it should not be used in programs. https://docs.python.org/3/library/constants.html#exit I get the impression that real programs should not assume that the site module has been pre-loaded during startup. -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
