Actually sys.exit raises exception SystemExit, but if interpreter reaches end of script exception is not raised. Try something like this: if __name__ == '__main__': exit_code_for_exithandler = None try: #... sys.exit(5) pass #... except SystemExit, e: exit_code_for_exithandler = e.code print "sys.exit called" else: print "end of script" w. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
