+1 from me. Only change I would make is pass an argument to SystemExit() such as "%s() called", although the chances of this exception being caught is very slim.
Raising SystemExit("quit() called") has an additional benefit (although the wording could use some work): >>> raise SystemExit("quit() called") quit() called (At least, I consider that a benefit :-)
Bad idea, as several pointed out -- quit() should return a 0 exit to the shell.
