[issue10506] argparse execute system exit in python prompt

[Tarsis Azevedo]

New submission from Tarsis Azevedo <tarsis.azevedo at gmail.com>:

Hi all, when I use argparse in python prompt, and raise a exception, as the code below:

    >>> import argparse
    >>> parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    >>> parser.add_argument('-i' type=int)
    >>> parser.parse_args(['-i', 'a'])

the prompt is closed.

This behavior this in error function (Lib/argparse.py:2325)
I think in python prompt this behavior it's wrong.

it's right?!
