Hum, I changed my mind and I think that it's worth it to make the function public. Moreover, I prefer "exitcode", since it is closer to "WEXITSTATUS" name than "returncode". So I renamed the function os.status_to_exitcode(). Advantages of the new new function compared to exiting code: * the function guarantee that result >= 0 means that the process exited and result < 0 means that the process exited due to a signal (was killed by a signal) * the function raises a well defined exception (ValueError) if the WIFSTOPPED() is true or if the status is unknown: it prevents to misuse WIFSTOPPED() ---------- title: Add os._wait_status_to_returncode() helper function -> Add os.status_to_exitcode() function _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40094> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
