Well, anothe option is:

* waitstatus_to_exitcode()

While the documentation uses "exit code", the code commonly uses "exitcode" or 
"returncode". Moreover, in the os module, underscore is not used to separated 
words in function names. Examples: "getenv" not "get_env", "setpriority" not 
"set_priority", etc.

Using "_to_" in the function name reduces the risk of conflict with a future 
addition to the libc. It's rare that libc function names use "_". One of the 
few exception: get_current_dir_name() which is a glibc extension.
