New submission from Alexander Belopolsky:
Python defines some BSDish exit codes in the os module:
EX_CANTCREAT = 73
EX_CONFIG = 78
EX_DATAERR = 65
EX_IOERR = 74
EX_NOHOST = 68
EX_NOINPUT = 66
EX_NOPERM = 77
EX_NOUSER = 67
EX_OK = 0
EX_OSERR = 71
EX_OSFILE = 72
EX_PROTOCOL = 76
EX_SOFTWARE = 70
EX_TEMPFAIL = 75
EX_UNAVAILABLE = 69
EX_USAGE = 64
but these are documented as only available on UNIX and may not be portable
across all flavors.
POSIX [1] and C99 defines EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE constants. I propose
adding those to sys.
Having these constants in sys will make them more discoverable because they
will be next to sys.exit().
