Is it possible to stop a program in Python?

Question

If I had a code like this:

a=input('#something')
while True:
    if a == 0:
        #Stop the program here

How would I end the program?

Thanks

On the off chance that you really just want to exit the loop, that’s `break`. — Ry-, Nov 29 '16 at 13:19
And note that it'll only ever exit or break if you're using Python 2, which automatically evaluates input given with `input()`, as you're looking for an integer there and not a string. — TigerhawkT3, Nov 29 '16 at 13:23

Yes, you usually do it this way:

import sys
sys.exit()

If there's an error you can indicate that by passing a string as in sys.exit("oops!").
