[issue46759] sys.excepthook documentation doesn't mention that it isn't called for SystemExit

[Colin Watson]

New submission from Colin Watson :

In https://bugs.debian.org/1005803, Matthew Vernon reports that the library 
documentation for sys.excepthook doesn't mention the detail that that 
sys.excepthook isn't called for uncaught SystemExit exceptions, although 
help(sys) does mention this.

(He also mentions that help(sys.excepthook) doesn't mention this.  I think this 
would make less sense, since that gets the docstring of a particular 
implementation of an excepthook - on a given system it might not be Python's 
built-in version, for instance.  But adding information to the main library 
documentation seems reasonable.)
