I don't think you can really do this without some kind of interprocess
communication. System.exit() unconditionally terminates the JVM --
this is a Java thing that has nothing to do with JPython. Or do you
mean Python's sys.exit()?
BTW, the best place to discuss JPython issues is
jpython-interest at python.org. See
 http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/jpython-interest
for details about the mailing list.
