What is your logic? Having os.EX_ codes in os does not help as far as sys.exit() is concerned: no-one is using them and they are not available on all platforms. If we add EXIT_FAILURE and EXIT_SUCCESS to os now, we will only create confusion: should I use os.EX_OK or os.EXIT_SUCCESS? Note that sys.exit() is different from os._exit(). It may not even result in termination of the interpreter. Why should users of sys.exit() be required to import os if they want to indicate a failure? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24053> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
