Yup. This will be in a future release. I've resisted this in the past, because I'd never seen the return value of main specified before and there's a long tradition of main functions returning None (by not returning anything), but I see that sys.exit treats None the same as 0. > I noticed a patch is attached to > https://bugs.launchpad.net/zc.buildout/+bug/164629 Unfortunately, this patch doesn't include a test, although updating the tests will be trivial, since applying the patch will make existing tests fail. (Maybe one of the other buildout maintainers will get it done before me. :) Jim -- Jim Fulton _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
