Thanks will replace SystemExit with SystemExit(1) .

 Iam trying to have a single exit point for many functions: example
 create_logdir() , create_dataset() and unittest.main() will bubble out an
exception using raise





I would want to terminate the program when this happens .



Do you see any problem if  *raise *SystemExit(1) is used in the except block ?



 *def *main():


    *try*:

        create_logdir()

        create_dataset()

        unittest.main()

    *except *Exception *as *e:

        logging.exception(e)

        *raise *SystemExit(1)





I see the below error only on pdb so thinking whats wrong in the above code
?



“*Exception AttributeError: "'NoneType' object has no attribute 'path'" in
<function _remove at 0x8017466e0> ignored “ *
