So you detected that I wrote quit but oh no instead of actually quitting I get to know I have to write quit()

Because "quit" wont work in a script.

@Cyanite But still, you aren't writing a script. I am not into python a lot, but I think the interactive shell should at least have an option for enabling quit

@Mitiko

The Terminal had no Terminal-only commands.

Everything works as if you were in a script.

The creator of RoR make a case for this in his manifesto entailing ruby and rails. I do get annoyed by it. But there is a good reason for it. Still, come on man you know what I meant and you still bitched about it. Meh, you can add the functionality yourself buy still. For a language as powerful and productive as python this really irks me.

I'm not sure why you're mad. This makes a lot of sense

Because there is code in there that knew what I wanted. Name is not defined had made me less annoyed.

Yep, try define something to p variable or s. It will just execute command or fail.

Python is weird

Ctrl+D on Linux

class _quit():
def __str__(self):
return self.__repr__()
def __repr__(self):
return "Use quit() or Ctrl+C"
def __call__(self):
import sys
sys.exit(0)
quit = _quit()
del _quit

I have seen similar messages in other software, and worse than these messages was talking to devs who wrote them and argued that that was the correct and intended behavior.
