Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: How often you see EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE in C code besides GNU tools that should support VMS? And even GNU tools usually use multiple error codes for different kinds of errors.
I think that these constants are rather unusual for C programmers. I'm only -0 on adding these constants, not -1, because I'm sure they will be never used. But this will add a burden on the documentation and will confuse inexperienced users when they unexpectedly encounter with sys.exit(sys.EXIT_FAILURE) instead of sys.exit(1). ---------- _______________________________________ 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
