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?
