Posix return or exit

[M.N.A.Smadi]

hi;
my script must return codes which are based on the POSIX spec of
returning a positive value. A work perl version of my code uses
exit(code_num). I am not sure if the equivilant in python is also:
exit(code_num)
or
return code_num

any ideas?

thanks

Use sys.exit(code_n um).
