Martin Panter added the comment:

FWIW I have wondered in the past why these constants were missing. I would be 
more likely to use them when checking an exit status than when setting one. I 
typically do “raise SystemExit()” or “raise SystemExit('Error message')”, which 
implicitly sets the status.

My preference would be to put EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE in the “os” module, 
next to the existing EX_ codes. But I guess the “sys” module would also work.
