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

Question

I want to know if Jupyter Notebook has a command to stop subsequent cells from running once the command has been given.

I found this question and tried sys.exit() but some of the cells below the command are still being executed.

The structure of my script looks as follows:

# tons of cells above

if df["target"].mean() == 1:
    sys.exit("Condition met. Do not execute the cells below.")

# tons of cells below

Ideally, none of the cells represented by tons of cells below should be executed if df["target"].mean() is 1. Otherwise, I do want to the subsequent cells executed.

I suppose one solution would be to write the code of all the subsequent cells in an else statement inside the same cell where sys.exit() is written. However, I do not want to do this.

try this instead of sys.exit():

raise SystemExit("Stop right there!")
