[issue44603] REPL: exit when the user types exit instead of asking them to explicitly type exit()

[Pablo Galindo Salgado]

Pablo Galindo Salgado <pablogsal at gmail.com> added the comment:

One thing we *could* do which is not super invasive, is to match a single AST node of type NAME at the end of Python run. This seems to work but is a bit inelegant:

>>> print(exit)
Use exit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit
>>> [exit]
[Use exit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit]
>>> exit
bye!

I have opened a draft with this in PR27096
