Today's Cleverness

by JS

Every so often I forget how to exit from the Python interpreter. I’ll type “quit” and be greeted by the following:

>>> quit
‘Use Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit.’
>>>

Then one day I was messing around with globals() and realized that quit is just a variable set to the string ‘Use Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit.’ by default.
