[New-bugs-announce] [issue2225] py_compile.main() does not return error code

[Chris AtLee]

New submission from Chris AtLee:

When using the py_compile module from the command line, and a
SyntaxError is encountered, python still exits with a 0 return code. 
This usually indicates that the process completely successfully.

Could py_compile.main() be modified to return a non-zero return code if
an exception was raised?
