Observe:

ryan@DevPC-LX:~/bfort$ python -c 'import sys; sys.exit(1)' ryan@DevPC-LX:~/bfort$ python -c 'import sys; sys.exit(1L)' 1 ryan@DevPC-LX:~/bfort$

If I call sys.exit with a long value under Python 2, it prints it. I count this as a bug because:

1. int and long are supposed to be as similar as possible. 2. When you're using Hy (which implicitly makes all ints longs), this sucks.

An open issue already exists about this: http://bugs.python.org/issue14376 -- Ned Deily, nad@acm.org
