In Python, sys.exit() function can also take an object other than an integer. If an integer is given to the argument, Python exits with the return code of it. If a non-integer argument is given, Python outputs it to stderr and exits with the return code of 1. That means, print >> sys.stderr, "Blah Blah" sys.exit(1) is equivalent to sys.exit("Blah Blah") The latter is a useful shorthand. Note: Some error messages in Buildman and Patman were output to stdout. But they should go to stderr. They are also fixed by this commit. This is a nice side effect.
