David Manowitz <david.manow...@gmail.com> added the comment:

I don't see why this should be considered acceptable behavior.  Why don't 
threads have their own ThreadExit exception, rather than overloading the use, 
and therefore, the meaning, of the SystemExit exception?  As indicated by their 
names, sys.exit and the SystemExit exception should *only* be used to exit the 
entire system, not just a thread!
