I still don't think it's worth the potential breakage to remove these from the
built-in namespace; there is enough code in Python 3 to not warrant breaking
them, nor making any porting harder for those still on Python 2. You can ask on
python-dev, though, to see
Derek Wilson added the comment:
could this be reconsidered for 3.5+? most of the legacy code that you were
worried about breaking would not port without tonnes of work anyway.
it would also be nice to modify quitter's repr actually exit (so you don't get
that ridiculously annoying "Use exit()
Brett Cannon added the comment:
While technically site.py could probably detect it is running in an interactive
session, changing this behaviour now would be backwards-incompatible and break
pre-existing code that relies on this behaviour (which has been around for a
long time).
