Buildout doesn't honor exit code from scripts

[Abhishek Mukherjee]

if you return exit codes from your main script, Distribute at least will call sys.exit() on the return value. Buildout's resulting script, on the other hand, does not. For example, assume you have the foo/__init__.py:

def main():
    return 3

and the setup.py

...
setup(...
    entry_points='''
    [console_scripts]
    foo=foo:main
    ''''
)

On the resulting script from running setup.py install, you'd get a line similar to
if __name__ == '__main__':
    sys.exit(foo.main())

(it actually does some fancy load_entry_points logic that i'm skipping for conciseness). Buildout gives the equivalent line:
if __name__ == '__main__':
    foo.main()

Thus ignoring the return code to the main function

this patch does sys(exit) on the result

fixed on trunk, thanks!

[Remco Wendt (shanx)]

Any idea when a new release will be done that includes this patch?

Shouldn't this ticket be closed, since the bug was fixed by 2.0.0 (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout/2.1.0#id5) ?

Yup
