How to stop/terminate a python script from running?

Question

I wrote a program in IDLE to tokenize text files and it starts to tokeniza 349 text files! How can I stop it? How can I stop a running Python program?

Answer 1

To stop a python script using the keyboard: Ctrl + C

To stop it using code (This has worked for me on Python 3) :

import os
os._exit(0)

you can also use:

import sys
sys.exit()

or:

exit()

or:

raise SystemExit
