How to Stop Execution of All Cells in Jupyter Notebook

IPython Notebook - early exit from cell

I'm reposting my answer from here because the solution should apply to your question as well. It will...

  • not kill the kernel on exit
  • not display a full traceback (no traceback for use in IPython shell)
  • not force you to entrench code with try/excepts
  • work with or without IPython, without changes in code

Just import 'exit' from the code beneath into your jupyter notebook (IPython notebook) and calling 'exit()' should work. It will exit and letting you know that...

 An exception has occurred, use %tb to see the full traceback.

IpyExit

"""
# ipython_exit.py
Allows exit() to work if script is invoked with IPython without
raising NameError Exception. Keeps kernel alive.

Use: import variable 'exit' in target script with
'from ipython_exit import exit'
"""

import sys
from io import StringIO
from IPython import get_ipython


class IpyExit(SystemExit):
"""Exit Exception for IPython.

Exception temporarily redirects stderr to buffer.
"""
def __init__(self):
# print("exiting") # optionally print some message to stdout, too
# ... or do other stuff before exit
sys.stderr = StringIO()

def __del__(self):
sys.stderr.close()
sys.stderr = sys.__stderr__ # restore from backup


def ipy_exit():
raise IpyExit


if get_ipython(): # ...run with IPython
exit = ipy_exit # rebind to custom exit
else:
exit = exit # just make exit importable

How to stop python program once condition is met (in jupyter notebook)

try this instead of sys.exit():

raise SystemExit("Stop right there!")

Ipython Notebook: Elegant way of turning off part of cells?

Using Jupyter notebook you can click on a cell, press esc and then r. That converts it to a "raw" cell. Similar thing can be done to convert it back, esc + y. No comments needed, just key presses.

Within Jupyer notebook, go to Help -> Keyboard shortcuts for more.

Here's a snippet:

Command Mode (press Esc to enable)

  • ↩ : enter edit mode

  • ⇧↩ : run cell, select below

  • ⌃↩ : run cell

  • ⌥↩ : run cell, insert below

  • y : to code

  • m : to markdown

  • r : to raw
