New submission from Miroslav Matějů:

I want to set exit code of my script in a function registered in the atexit 
module. (See https://stackoverflow.com/q/37178636/711006.) Calling sys.exit() 
in that function results in the following error:

Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "atexit_test.py", line 3, in myexit
    sys.exit(2)
SystemExit: 2

Despite the printed error, the exit code is set to 0. (This might be related 
with #1257.)

This problem seems to affect Python 3.x. I experienced it with Python 3.5.1 on 
Windows 7 x64 and I am able to reproduce it with Python 3.4.3 on Linux (x64). 
Python 2.7.6 on the same Linux machine works as expected: Exits without 
additional messages and the desired exit code is set.

A simple test case:

def myexit():
  import sys
  sys.exit(2)

import atexit
atexit.register(myexit)
