Matthew, Not sure if ipython is different but have you tried sys.exit("stoping now")
You could also put in a flag to turn the printing on and off so it wont print it out when you are testing.

I want to stop execution of my main script half way through. This is just for debugging - the code in the bottom half of the script generates a whole lot of output that I don't want. Inserting "break" or "return" doesn't work, but something like that is what I had in mind. I'm running under ipython on windows, FWIW.
