`exit()` crashes pythonista

When calling exit(), whether in script or console, the app crashes with no modification to file saved. This is also true for raise SystemExit or quit().

Expected behavior: the script which call exit() exits (or do nothing when called in console), and app stays running (like old version of pythonista do).

>>> import platform
>>> platform.version()

>>> platform.iOS_ver()

>>> platform.python_version()

Same situation for me! Found a solution by using sys.exit().

Run the code linter that is built into Pythonista. https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/sys-exit-alias

How can this help with exit() crashes?

[cclauss]

The linter should fail when it sees exit() and tell you to use sys.exit() instead.

Can we close this issue given that we have an effective workaround?

[imkzh]

Although sys.exit provides a workaround, the exit still crashes the app. This is quite unexpected, and may cause losing file or data.

(think of you are using PyCharm to debug a script, and an exit() call terminates the PyCharm.)

If this is by design, maybe should be better provided by package pythonista or editor

Even if the linter provide a warning about exit() calls, it is not so cool, to deal with unexpected crashes. And for example I am not actively using linter tool. Will be a label assigned to this issue? Thank you in advance for fixing this!
