How do I make a Python script log out of the shell when it exits?

Question

I'm writing a shell script in Python for bash. The script automatically runs when the user logs into the account, and I want it to log the user out when it exits. I tried using os.system('exit'), but it doesn't work. How would I achieve this?

Answer 1

Set your python script as the login shell of the user(in /etc/passwd/). This way she will be automatically logged out after the script exits.
