R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

There was recently a long discussion of this on python-dev (in the
context of a proposal to add argparse to the stdlib; argparse does the
same thing).  The conclusion was that the current behavior is the most
useful behavior, and that if you don't want to exit you can either
subclass or catch SystemExit.
