Amaury Forgeot d'Arc <amaur...@gmail.com> added the comment:

on Windows, exec() does not really replace the current process. It creates a 
new process (with a new pid), and exits the current one.

Hence the calling program only sees that the script has terminated.

I don't see any easy solution on Windows, except than using subprocess.Popen(), 
and exit the script when the subprocess terminates.
