Here's yet a different take on this: why not simply change the startup message? Whether we choose "quit" or "exit", someone will get it wrong unless there's an alias. Changing the message is free. Currently we have
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. Let's add another line that says Type "quit()" to exit Defining it as "def quit(): raise SystemExit" should be fine. -- Aahz ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <*> http://www.pythoncraft.com/ "Given that C++ has pointers and typecasts, it's really hard to have a serious conversation about type safety with a C++ programmer and keep a straight face. It's kind of like having a guy who juggles chainsaws wearing body armor arguing with a guy who juggles rubber chickens wearing a T-shirt about who's in more danger." --Roy Smith _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
