stop script w/o exiting interpreter

May I recommend wrapping your main program in a function definition? Such 
as:

main():
        # Bulk of your code (use a macro to indent it faster)

if __name__ == "__main__":
        main()

Then you should be able to throw in a "return" at any point and get a 
clean break, without affecting the flow of your program. This should make 
it easier to debug as well, offering a clean entry point from the python 
interactive session, and letting you return a specific value you wish to 
check.
