[Ironpython-users] How to forcibly terminate a script?

[Jeff Hardy]

The only way to forcibly end it is to run it in another thread and use
Thread.Abort[1]. All of the usual caveats around Thread.Abort apply, and
your atexit may or may not be called.

The Shutdown method is a bit misleading; it does some cleanup but doesn't
actually *stop* the current engine. There really isn't any way to do that,
and any implementation would probably be the moral equivalent of
Thread.Abort anyway.
