It is documented, just not exactly where you'd expect it (exit is a constant, not a function): http://docs.python.org/2/library/constants.html#constants-added-by-the-site-module As for the behaviour when you pass a string, it's documented here: http://docs.python.org/2/library/exceptions.html#exceptions.SystemExit -- Arnaud -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
