[IronPython] False? with Unit Test

[Curt Hagenlocher]

It's the call to sys.exit that does this.

There's a subtle difference between IronPython 2.0B1 and CPython 2.5 when
sys.exit is called with a boolean parameter.  CPython doesn't print the
value of the parameter if it's boolean, while IronPython does.  Presumably,
CPython does this for backwards compatibility with a time when it didn't
have a boolean data type. I'd guess that sys.exit(False) gets the same
behavior as sys.exit(0) while sys.exit(True) is the same as sys.exit(1).
But I haven't checked the CPython source to confirm that guess.
