sys.exit function doesn't end the program

there's my code:

import sys
import keyboard
import rotatescreen
from time import sleep
pd = rotatescreen.get_primary_display()
angel = [90, 180, 270, 0]
for i in range(2):
    for x in angel:
        pd.rotate_to(x)
        sleep(0.5)
if keyboard.is_pressed("p"):
    sys.exit(0)

So the program is working very well, doing his task, but the last 2 lines just don't seem to work. When i press 'p' the program just finishes his work instead of stopping.

You want to listen for the keyboard event as close to the "execution" of your operation as possible. In your case, that's in the nested loop:

for i in range(2):
    for x in angel:
        if keyboard.is_pressed("p"):
            sys.exit(0)
        pd.rotate_to(x)
        sleep(0.5)

I would also give the documentation a read through, specifically this: Common patterns and mistakes
