[issue24052] sys.exit(code) returns "success" to the OS for some nonzero values of code

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

Python 2 prints large return code only by accident, because it have unsupported type (sys.exit supports only int, not long). This is considered as a bug (issue14376) because small return codes of type long (0L or 1L) are printed too.

I don't think this issue need other fix besides a note that the program can return "success" for some non-zero values.
