class SimpleExit:
      def __repr__(self):
          print "Python: Sssssssee you!"
          import sys
          sys.exit(0)

q = SimpleExit()

Include this in your PYTHONSTARTUP and you're done. Just type

 >>> q

whenever you want to exit and avoid conflicting use of q in
interactive sessions. :-)

Mit freundlichen Gruessen,
