   @alex so this was in a recent blog post complaining about user-hostile patterns in programming and it really is the perfect Python example

     @feld @alex in py, exit is a named function, so of course you need to add () to the end to invoke it.

     @SockAccountForWatchingRandbot @alex But you are in the Python REPL shell, so it should accept those shell commands not just Python code.
     
     And the CTRL+D doesn't work either

     @SockAccountForWatchingRandbot @alex You're missing the point: the standard error is:
     
     SyntaxError: invalid syntax
     
     These jerks put in special code just to catch you typing "exit" and scold you for it.

     @feld @alex Yeah, but from what I understand it to be, the repl is just a quick and easy env to write and execute "legal" py code.
