Thanks will replace SystemExit with SystemExit(1) . > Why do you want to do this, though? What do you think you gain from it? > Iam trying to have a single exit point for many functions: example create_logdir() , create_dataset() and unittest.main() will bubble out an exception using raise I would want to terminate the program when this happens . Do you see any problem if *raise *SystemExit(1) is used in the except block ? *def *main(): *try*: create_logdir() create_dataset() unittest.main() *except *Exception *as *e: logging.exception(e) *raise *SystemExit(1) I see the below error only on pdb so thinking whats wrong in the above code ? “*Exception AttributeError: "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'path'" in <function _remove at 0x8017466e0> ignored “ * (Pdb) n SystemExit: SystemExit() > /var/crash/local_qa/bin/corrupt_test.py(253)<module>() -> main() (Pdb) n --Return-- > /var/crash/local_qa/bin/corrupt_test.py(253)<module>()->None -> main() (Pdb) n Exception AttributeError: "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'path'" in <function _remove at 0x8017466e0> ignored -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
