exit() and quit() (as added by the site.py module) are for interactive use.
They're mostly there for the benefit of newbies. Experienced developers (at
least in the Unix/Linux world) usually know to exit interactive terminal
apps with Ctrl-D. I believe you use Ctrl-Z <enter> under Windows.

For programmatic use in scripts, use sys.exit(), since the site module is
not guaranteed to run.
