Python AttributeError: module 'os' has no attribute 'exit'

Question

I'm using Python 3.9.12 and I get error in the following line

os.exit()

the Error message is: AttributeError: module 'os' has no attribute 'exit'

Im sure it shouldnt have worked with v3.9 either. exit() is builtin now. — Bijay Regmi

os.exit() is not and was not a method of the os module. You may confuse it with os._exit() or sys.exit()

As from comment, exit is a built-in. So os.exit() becomes exit()

os.exit() was never a method of os
