You have to terminate the XMP-RPC server or the manager first. Check the
docs!

You can terminate a Python process with os._exit() but I recommend that
you find another way. os._exit() is a hard termination. It kills the
process without running any cleanup code like atexit handlers and
Python's internal cleanups. Open files aren't flushed to disk etc.
