Hi @mvpalheta , thank you for asking.

• First of all check your python version by running python --version.
• I think you are running an old version of python. Please update python to latest 3.9 for best results.
• quit() is a python exit command, which is built into python.
• Please make sure that you dont have any variable or module named quit
• Please share the full traceback ( output in terminal ), for more help.

I have encountered the same issue today. I think the problem with quit is caused by Ipython (Spyder, Jupyter Notebook...). If you run the code in PyCharm then it will work well.

Thanks to @mrwenjie , for helping me figure out the actual problem.

Solution to the problem: Don't use ipython. Create a python script, and then run that from terminal.

For example create script.py and write the code in it. Then from terminal or command prompt, go to that directory and run python script.py
