Actually it's been *removed* in Python 3:

Python 3.1.2 (r312:79147, Mar  2 2011, 17:43:12)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5664)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> `exit`
  File "<stdin>", line 1
    `exit`
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Good riddance, IMO -- there was never a good reason for
