Are you serious? I've seen senior programmers who thought that status < 0 means failure and status >= 0 means success. Why would anyone who understands English would need to know what the numerical value of EXIT_FAILURE is to understand that status=EXIT_FAILURE means "failure"? Not to mention that google returns a pageful of relevant links for "EXIT_FAILURE". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24053> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
