Yes,

   import sys
   sys.exit()

Usually, though, you should instead structure your program into functions
that call each other. The program would exit when the top-level
function exits:


   def main():                 # top-level function
      do_something()           # another function
      if not more_things_to_do():
         return                # the program exits by returning from the
                               # top-level function
      do_more_things()

   if __name__ == '__main__':  # if this file is run as a script
      main()                   # start the top-level function
