New submission from techtonik techtonik@gmail.com:

I would like to propose this wrapping sys.exit() calls in generated console scripts into __main__ block. This will prevent programs that inspect available modules using 'import' from exiting prematurely. See http://bitten.edgewall.org/ticket/583

Patch attached.
