Michael Foord added the comment: Allowing sys.exit() to end the test run was particularly a problem for testing command line tools, where improper patching / unexpected code paths would trigger a sys.exit.
If a test framework author wants a way to end the test run I'm happy to provide that (a custom exception to raise or a flag to turn off sys.exit handling), but I don't think having sys.exit kill test runs is best for test authors. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10611> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
