Would you like to elaborate?  exit() is supposed to take an int 
parameter, but the author apparently didn't notice that.  So perhaps you 
got an exception of some sort.  Change it to exit() or exit(0) and it 
might solve the problem, depending on what the problem was.

No it doesn't.  return = 0 is a syntax error in both Python 2.x and 3.x

But if you changed it to a valid return statement, then that's why it 
doesn't stop on the first solution.
