sys.exit(0) doesn't print anything at all.
$ python
>>> import sys
>>> sys.exit(0)
$
however, sys.exit() raises an exception to tell the runtime that it wants
to terminate the program, so if you're using a catch-all exception handler
that treats all exceptions as dangerous errors, it'll look like a dangerous
error too.
the solution is simple: don't do that. instead of writing:
try:
...
except:
print "OMG! Ponies!"
write
try:
...
except (SystemExit, KeyboardInterupt):
raise
except:
print "OMG! Ponies!"
