[New-bugs-announce] [issue28722] doctest example exit status

[Rajiv Bakulesh Shah]

New submission from Rajiv Bakulesh Shah:

It might be nice if the doctest example set the appropriate exit status.  Apologies if this is beyond the scope of the example, but I thought it might be good practice.

Here is the file:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Doc/library/doctest.rst

Here is the example as written:
if __name__ == "__main__":
    import doctest
    doctest.testmod()

Here is my proposal:
if __name__ == '__main__':
    import doctest
    import sys
    results = doctest.testmod()
    sys.exit(bool(results.failed))

I'm happy to fork the repo and submit a PR, if that makes things easier.  I'm not familiar with the protocol here.  Thanks for the great work!
