Wait... So it’s possible to make it so you can’t use `quit()`? Just overwrite it without saving it?

Yes. You can still send an EOF to quit (ctrl+d), or do "raise SystemExit()" which is all quit() does anyway:

    >>> print(inspect.getsource(quit.__call__))
        def __call__(self, code=None):
            try:
                sys.stdin.close()
            except:
                pass
            raise SystemExit(code)
