[New-bugs-announce] [issue15033] Different exit status when using -m

[Kamil Kisiel]

New submission from Kamil Kisiel <kamil at kamilkisiel.net>:

Python returns a different exit status when an exception is raised and -m is used as opposed to just running a module.

A short example, let's call it foo.py:

    def main():
        raise ValueError()

    if __name__ == '__main__':
        main()

When run with python foo.py the exit status of the process is 1. If run with python -mfoo the exit status of the process is 255.
