How to properly close Python exe console program

I'm trying to figure out how to do exit if the program is done with it's work. What should I use?

I've tried:

sys.exit()

and 

os._exit(0)

But none of them worked in exe created by Py2Exe. It works when it is runned as a py script but if I create an exe, those exit commands do nothing.

Using simply exit() or quit() might not work as it might be undefined in some runtime environments Use: sys.exit() to terminate the program explicitly

If you are trying to execute a command from cmd on python just add \c to the command, and it will close after its execution

example os.system(r'cmd /c "C:\Program Files\PATH" -file C:\PATH.exe')

Use pyinstaller instead of py2exe you will love it :). sys.exit() should work on pyinstaller.

to install

python -m pip install pyinstaller

to build exe in single file

pyinstaller yourscript.py --onefile

to build a gui app w/o console

pyinstaller yourscript.py --noconsole

If you have problem using pyinstaller dont hesitate to ask :)

If you are just using a console window, it will automatically close at the end of your program.

print("Hello World") input()

If you run the .py file, a terminal window should pop up that says hello world. When you hit enter(the input part) the program will look for another line of code and when it finds none, will close the program and console window.
