is their a way to close the IDLE shell if they input something

Question

is there a way on IDLE to close the users shell if they were to enter something that would be supposed to "quit"?

Answer 1

You can use exit(0) to terminate the program, as follows:

while True:
    i = input()
    if i == "quit":
        exit(0)
    else:
        # do something
        pass
