exitstatus - POSIX exit status definitions

exitstatus provides expressive, portable definitions for the standard POSIX exit codes. While Python does provide some Unix-specific exit status codes in the os module, they are not portable to all platforms and are missing the generic failure case.

Installation

You can install, upgrade, and uninstall exitstatus with these commands:

$ pip install exitstatus
$ pip install --upgrade exitstatus
$ pip uninstall exitstatus

Usage

Exit status codes are defined in a simple to use IntEnum.

import sys
from exitstatus import ExitStatus

sys.exit(ExitStatus.success)
