Alexander Belopolsky added the comment: Passing anything other than one of the os.EX_* constants to sys.exit() is a bad idea. In most cases you can get away with 0 and ±1. Anything beyond 8 bit signed range is a gamble. Passing a computed integer value is even more problematic. With the current behavior, you at least get some diagnostic when a computed long finds its way to sys.axit(). With the proposed patch these errors will pass silently.
