sys

sys.exit()

Always use sys.exit() to exit in production code. Built-in's like quit or exit can be omitted in some envs.

os._exit()

os._exit(n) Exit the process with status n, without calling cleanup handlers, flushing stdio buffers, etc.

Note: The standard way to exit is sys.exit(n). _exit() should normally only be used in the child process after a fork().
