Platform-independent exit codes for Python. Provides a comprehensive mapping of standardized exit codes (e.g., EX_OK, EX_USAGE, EX_SOFTWARE) based on POSIX and common system conventions. Current version 1.3.0; stable with infrequent releases.

ExitCode

✓ from exit_codes import ExitCode

✗ import exit_codes

exit_codes

✓ from exit_codes import exit_codes

✗ import exit_codes

ExitCodeError

✓ from exit_codes import ExitCodeError

✗ import exit_codes

Use exit codes from the module for platform-independent script exits.

import sys import exit_codes sys.exit(exit_codes.EX_USAGE) # exits with code 64

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThe library does not provide reverse lookups (e.g., getting name from code). All exit codes are integer constants.

fix

If you need reverse lookup, maintain your own mapping.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaThe module name uses a hyphen in PyPI but an underscore in Python: `import exit_codes` (not `exit-codes`).

fix

Use `import exit_codes` in code.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedSome constants like EX_TEMPFAIL are defined but may be platform-specific and not always available.

fix

Check if the constant exists before using via `hasattr(exit_codes, 'EX_TEMPFAIL')`.

affects: >=1.0.0
