Ha ha, got a laugh out that, though I'm a Pythonista. Obstructive software is irritating, of course.

Couple of points though:

1. It also says you can use Ctrl-Z (though you still have to hit Enter after that, which is a bit of a pain).

2. You can just use Ctrl-D. Works on both Windows and Linux, no need for Enter. Smooth and quick.

And it works in like every repl/ interactive shell program ever. Why bother to memorize all these other ones?

control-D doesn't work in iex (Elixir's REPL) or erl (Erlang's REPL). Control-C-C does.

Fair point. I mostly just mash ctrl-c and ctrl-d until the thing quits, works for pretty much anything except Vim.
