Summary: sys.exit and PYTHONINSPECT

Initial Comment:
If you invoke the Python interpreter with -i, then even 
sys.exit shouldn't kill the interpreter, especially since 
sys.exit generates a SystemExit exception which can 
be caught. I can't think of any other case where -i fails to 
keep the interpreter alive after a script exits, whether 
because of an syntax or runtime error or normal 
termination.

I started a thread on python-dev about this issue:
