Where can I find information about meaning of exit codes of “python” process on Unix? For instance, if I do “python thisfiledoesntexist.py”, I get exit code 2
Summary:
from errno import errorcode
print errorcode[2]
As stated, mostly the error codes come from the executed script and
sys.exit().The example with a non-existing file as an argument to the interpreter fall in a different category. Though it’s stated nowhere I would guess, that these exit codes are the "standard" Linux error codes. There is a module called
errnothat provides these error numbers (the exit codes come fromlinux/include/errno.h.I.e.:
errno.ENOENT(stands for for "No such file or directory") has the number 2 which coincides with your example.
