[Tutor] sys.exit help

[Evert Rol]

> I was wondering how can I change sys.exit so if you use command line to run the program. it prompts a message asking if the user wants to exit instead of automatically just exiting?

Just write a wrapper exit() function around sys.exit that does that.
You don't want to change the sys.exit function to behave differently; it's purpose is simply to exit the program with a return value.
