Python Job Not Ending

Question

I've had a strange occurance. I stopped a python script manually, but its still running. It shows it as stopped in my IDE (Spyder) but I can see it's still running in task manager. I also know it still processing because its still outputting files to a directory.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can prevent it on a go forward?

close the process and run your code again. does it happens again? — dot.Py, May 18 '16 at 18:03
@gerosalesc I think i found an incorrectly written if / pass / else. Could that have caused it? Even so, if you stop it manually shouldn't that stop it regardless of what's going on in the script? — PyNoob, May 18 '16 at 18:40
@Dot_Py i think its inconsistant based upon when i stop it. In particular, the record i stop it on which could be a factor of the error / exception handling i mentioned in my comment to gerosalesc — PyNoob, May 18 '16 at 18:41

Got it, i needed to add Exception to my except statement. Thanks gerosalesc and Dot_Py for your help.
