Actually you don;t. In your e4xample yuou just have empty 
braces and that will end just fine! Similarly in Python it will 
just silently drop off the end of the code.

However if you want to return a value to the OS other 
than 0 you can use the exit function from the sys module.
(Or raise a SystemExit exception with an argument of 
the required error code)

sys.exit() is explained in the Simple Sequences topic 
of my tutorial.
