why not just:

import sys

#some code
if foo == 'ja':
    print 'stuff'
    sys.exit(0)
#some more code

or even better yet, put it all in a function:

def main():
  (your code)
  if var == 'ja':
     print 'stuff'
     return
  (more code)

if __name__ == '__main__': main()

Because breaking flow is less consistent and requires fractionally more thinking. Seeing "if...else" == flow, and flow == good.
