[Ironpython-users] How to forcibly terminate a script?

[Andrew Stephens]

Let’s say I run the following simple script (which also contains an “atexit” func, as I might want to perform some cleanup when the script terminates):-

import atexit
import time
import sys

@atexit.register
def cleanup():
    print 'doing cleanup/termination code'
    sys.exit()

for i in range(100):
    print 'doing something'
    time.sleep(1)

If I call “_engine.Runtime.Shutdown()” in my C# code, it results in the atexit func getting called and raising a SysExitException in the calling C# code (due to the line “sys.exit()”), but the “for” loop still continues to run to completion.
What am I missing? Is it possible to forcibly terminate a running script with IronPython?
