Hello, after looking at the docs for Exception:
https://docs.python.org/2/library/exceptions.html
I do not see any information on the guaranteed exit code a script that exits
because Python threw an exception.
I wonder if all exceptions throw the exact same non-zero exit code, or whether
a specific exit code is assigned to each exception uniquely. Or whether the
exit code behavior is undefined (especially since it appears to be
undocumented).
Thanks,
Terrence
A quick check demonstrates that exceptions do not get distinct status
codes. BTW: how could they?, you can create new exception types, there
is not a bounded number of them.
On my Mac, Python 2.7 exited with a status code of 1 for
ZeroDivisionError, NameError, SyntaxError, IndexError, and KeyError.
