[Tutor] pausing time and perform on exit

[alan.gauld@bt.com]

Kyle,

I think you are getting too complex which might mean you're using 
the wrong appproach? Since I don't know exactly what/why your 
doing this stuff I can only suggest an alternative approach 
without knowing if its suitable...

try:
    # your code here
    # exit using exit_f1()
    raise exit1
    # more code here
    # exit with other func
    raise exit2
except exit1:
    exit_f1()
except exit2:
    exit_f2()
except SystemExit:  # default from sys.exit...
    exit_default()

Would that work better?
You could even make the raised exception be 'constant by storing 
the exception class in a variable:

try: 
   exception_type = exit1
   # do stuff
   raise exception_type
   # do more
   exception_type = exit2
   raise exception_type
except:....

That might be better if you raise the exit within a loop or function
and don't know the exit state until you enter the loop etc...

Just an idea...
