[issue6634] sys.exit() called from threads other than the main one: undocumented behaviour
by Jan-Philip Gehrcke Sept. 25, 2010

Jan-Philip Gehrcke <jgehrcke(a)gmail.com> added the comment: Sorry for the delay. Before suggesting a doc change to correct/complete the description of the *current* situation, we actually should consider changing this situation. I think this is reasonable and I feel encouraged by Gabriel Genellina: > I see no reason for sys.exit("msg") NOT to write to stderr > inside a child thread. This patch enables printing to stderr from child threads and clones the behavior of `sys.exit(arg)` called from the main thread: # PATCH BEGIN --- C:/Python27/Lib/threading.py Sat Apr 10 18:55:48 2010 +++ C:/python_sys_exit_issue/threading.py Sat Sep 25 14:50:24 2010 @@ -531,6 +531,15 @@ except SystemExit: if __debug__: self._note("%s.__bootstrap(): raised SystemExit", self) + # Now get and handle the "exit code", given by the user via + # the second expression after `raise` or via the argument of + # sys.exit(). + code = self.__exc_info()[1].code + # Ignore None and integer exit code.

What do you think?

hi, why they don't provide python27.lib (dynamic version) this is just a wrapper that do all the load and functions linking, and can be renamed python27dyn.lib it is created automatically by msvc when the python27.dll is built. it will be a lot more easy to link to the dll regards, renan jegouzo

[issue9933] os module does not have the documented EX_NOTFOUND attribute
by Martin v. Löwis Sept. 24, 2010

Sept. 24, 2010

Martin v. Löwis <martin(a)v.loewis.de> added the comment: I fail to see the issue. The documentation clearly says, above the block of all the EX_* constants: Note Some of these may not be available on all Unix platforms, since there is some variation. These constants are defined where they are defined by the underlying platform. That seems to explain the situation well, no? ---------- nosy: +loewis _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9933> _______________________________________

[issue9933] os module does not have the documented EX_NOTFOUND attribute
by Kamil Kisiel Sept. 24, 2010

Sept. 24, 2010

Kamil Kisiel <kisielk(a)users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: I mostly wanted to just report the issue rather than propose a solution, so I'm in favor of whatever everyone feels is best. As for how I came across the issue, it was mostly curiosity, I wanted to see the numerical value of all the os.EX_* constants and was printing them out on the screen when I stumbled upon this. If there's no chance of it working, which seems to be the case, I agree it should probably be just removed from the documentation. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9933> _______________________________________
