I'm running Qpython (andoid) 1.2.3 (the latest as of 2016-01-31) and I can get scripts to run. I've been able to create a shortcut on my homescreen for a simple test script that put the current date in yyyy-mm-dd format into the clipboard, and speaks the content. I have #qpy: console directing the script to execure in the console. When I click the shortcut, the clipboard is happily updated, and read out to me. But... the console window stays open, telling me to hit enter to close the window.
I have tried:

adding "exit"
adding "exit(0)"
adding 

import sys

sys.exit()
I have tried printing ctrl-d

I still get the console staying open until I manually hit enter.
I tried reheadering my script to run as kivy instead of console, and I could get it to exit, but it takes several seconds to load up kivy, and it's silly to load a huge amount of gui capability, when I neither need nor want them.
How can I close the console automatically?
edit the file end.sh. Remove or comment the "read" command.
How do I exit Qpython (android) console automatically afer script completes?
