sys.exit() can be used to stop, halt, exit the execution of a Python script. In this example, Hello will be printed, the script will be exited, meaning World will not be printed.
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
print("Hello")
sys.exit()
print("World")
You can also declare the exit code, such as 0 (OK) or 1 (Fault).
#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
print("Hello")
sys.exit(0)
print("World")
