OK, that works well. But why the 2?
BTW at the command line, "raise SystemExit(2)" produces a completely
silent exit. In Win IDE I get "SystemExit: 2". With IDLE:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "E:\Python25\dev\1unitConversion5a.py", line 425, in <module>
main()
File "E:\Python25\dev\1unitConversion5a.py", line 413, in main
s = formatAndCheckStringFromUser(s)
File "E:\Python25\dev\1unitConversion5a.py", line 342, in
formatAndCheckStringFromUser
s = stripResponseAndCheckForUserRequestForHelpOrToQuit(s)
File "E:\Python25\dev\1unitConversion5a.py", line 253, in
stripResponseAndCheckForUserRequestForHelpOrToQuit
raise SystemExit(2)
SystemExit: 2
If I can manage to use "break", all 3 exits are silent. Why is it
wrong to use "break" to exit?
