New submission from Marco Buttu: Python 3.3:: >>> import sys >>> print(sys.exit.__doc__) exit([status]) Exit the interpreter by raising SystemExit(status). If the status is omitted or None, it defaults to zero (i.e., success). If the status is numeric, it will be used as the system exit status. If it is another kind of object, it will be printed and the system exit status will be one (i.e., failure). The sentence "If the status is numeric, it will be used as the system exit status." is wrong:: >>> sys.exit(3.33) 3.33 $ echo $? 1 It should be "If the status is an *integer*, it will be used as the system exit status.", as specified in the SystemExit `doc`. .. doc: http://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#SystemExit ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 196195 nosy: docs@python, marco.buttu priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Wrong sentence in sys.exit.__doc__ type: behavior _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18839> _______________________________________
