Close Streamlit App with button click

🎈 Using Streamlit

Hi,

Is there any functionality with which I can close the streamlit app (browser tab, command prompt) when a button is clicked.

Best,
Debayan

Hi @DebayanPaul93, I don’t think this functionality has been built in as yet. A Streamlit insider can opine further.

Cheers

Hi,

anyone with a solution/work-around?

Your issue has been asked about before. Ref Terminating Streamlit server from within the code · Issue #668 · streamlit/streamlit · GitHub.

You could probably try to close the window with Selenium.

You can try this:

import streamlit as st
import time
import keyboard
import os
import psutil

exit_app = st.sidebar.button("Shut Down")
if exit_app:
    # Give a bit of delay for user experience
    time.sleep(5)
    # Close streamlit browser tab
    keyboard.press_and_release('ctrl+w')
    # Terminate streamlit python process
    pid = os.getpid()
    p = psutil.Process(pid)
    p.terminate()
