Martin Panter added the comment: I guess I like setting the status to 1 because it matches the status already used by the default exception handling, the value when you raise SystemExit("error message"), and the value used for most internal errors. However I did discover that the exit status is 2 if you give Python wrong CLI arguments or there is an OS error opening a script file.
I’m still rather unsure, only weakly in favour of my original proposal. Maybe see if anyone else has an opinion? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5319> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
