Stop python script

[floraroumpani]

Hello.

I am trying to stop a python script. In the previous version, there was a stop button, that seemed to to the job. But now I cant find a way to interrupt it. I tried sys.exit () , but doesn't seem to work either. What am I missing??

Have you tried ctrl+c?

Hmmm, a few questions:
1) Are you trying to end a script mid process or are you trying to end the script from a specific point in the script?

2) Where are you running the script from? (ArcMap/IDLE)

1. i d like to end a script mid process (kill)

2. i am running it from the city engine console for python.

I think "ESC cancels the current operation", but it doesn't seem to be working for me (using the python window of ArcMap).

Sorry I couldn't help, I hope someone else can!

How about stopping it with the task manager under processes?

Thank you both,

However, even in task manager, it cant be stopped without terminating CityEngine.

😕

Thank you very much for your replies!

There seems to be a problem with the specific script i am trying to run.
I just wrote a simple loop and it stops normally using esc! .

Hi!

Control+C or control + X should work
