sys.exit is a pretty harsh way to stop execution. It usually
means unable to continue. There is nothing that stops you
from putting that in a function.

Another possiblity would be
def funct :
   if( .... ) :
      statement 1
      raise UserWarning, "precondition X in funct not met"

    statement 2
    ...
    statement n
