[New-bugs-announce] [issue2674] unittest.TestProgram uses sys.exit()

[Johan Tufvesson]

New submission from Johan Tufvesson <tuben at users.sourceforge.net>:

The class TestProgram (and its synonym "main") in module unittest is
(probably) meant to be an easy way to use the functionality of the
module unittest. It is very surprising (and error-prone) that it uses
sys.exit() with a status code instead of making a return with the same
status code.

Clean-up actions after the call to unittest.main() are not executed.
