I'm executing a Python file text.py via Jupyter. I didn't get that error so far, but something changed, and now calling quit() or exit() raises a NameError. What causes this problem now?
test.py
def myFunc():
print('yes')
quit()
myFunc()
test.ipynb
#executes test.py
%run test.py
That's because you are running python on two different python environment.
To check which env you are running you can add this two lines on top of your code:
import sys
print(sys.executable)
def myFunc():
print('yes')
quit()
myFunc()
running with:
python3 test.py
leads to this output
/usr/bin/python3
yes
instead from jupyter I obtain this:
/snap/jupyter/6/bin/python
yes

Basically when you are running the code from jupyter you are loading a different set of builtin libraries
Anyway quit should be used only from the interpreter
Or you can simply use
sys.exit()
Which does the same thing :)
print(sys.executable) returns the same as running via jupyter: /Applications/anaconda3/bin/pythonsys.exit() as replacement for quit()to your answer, I'm happy to accept it, since it solves my problem. Got that from your link ;)
