python cmd module exit shortcut

Using python cmd module, I would like to be able to quit the command line application using Ctrl+D. However, default behavior prints ^D instead of quitting the application.

Reading the documentation, I can't seem to find a way to do it. Any hints ?

From the doc:

An end-of-file on input is passed back as the string 'EOF'.

Which means that Ctrl+D is dispatched to the do_EOF() method. So to give a way to exit your interpreter, make sure to implement do_EOF() and have it return True:

def do_EOF(self, line):
    return True
