How to exit from Python without traceback

Question

I would like to know how to I exit from Python without having a traceback dump on the output.

I still want to be able to return an error code but I do not want to display the traceback log.

I want to be able to exit using exit (number) without trace but in case of an Exception (not an exit) I want the trace.

shutil has many methods you can use. One of which is:

from shutil import copyfile

copyfile(src, dst)

Copy the contents of the file named src to a file named dst. The destination location must be writable; otherwise, an IOError exception will be raised. If dst already exists, it will be replaced. Special files such as character or block devices and pipes cannot be copied with this function. srcand dst are path names given as strings.
