New submission from Abraham Karplus: Exiting a Tkinter application normally results in printing '0' and exiting with error code 1. This is a result of Tkinter's _exit function, whose default argument for code is the string '0'. It then calls SystemExit with the code argument. However, according to the SystemExit documentation "if [the argument] has another type (such as a string), the object’s value is printed and the exit status is one". A simple fix for this would be to change the Tkinter _exit function to convert code to an int before passing it to SystemExit.
