Python logging termination

Question

The problem

What is the best way to deal with situation that I want to log an exception to console, file, etc. and then terminate the program? Suppose I read in a config and validate whether the entries given make sense. If not, I want to raise an InvalidConfigError, log this error and terminate since there is no way to recover from this.

What I've done

try:
    config = validate_config(read_config(cfg_file_path))
except InvalidConfigError:
    logging.getLogger(__name__).exception(f'Config validation failed.')
    exit(1)

Thoughts

When I do (notice raise)

try:
    config = validate_config(read_config(cfg_file_path))
except InvalidConfigError:
    logging.getLogger(__name__).exception(f'Config validation failed.')
    raise

I will get duplicated tracebacks in my console log since I log the whole thing incl. the traceback in my exception logging call and then raise it again which will print the whole thing again.

Is there a better way to do this? I feel like exit(1) is not particularly nice.
