    The class TestProgram (and its synonym "main") in module unittest is
    (probably) meant to be an easy way to use the functionality of the
    module unittest. It is very surprising (and error-prone) that it uses
    sys.exit() with a status code instead of making a return with the same
    status code.

    Clean-up actions after the call to unittest.main() are not executed.

    That class is normally used at the end of the testing suite, as is
    recommended in the documentation.

    In any case, I don't see that like a bug, so we shouldn't be changing
    that behaviour, because of compatibility.

    What do you think? Maybe the documentation should be more explicit about
    this? Thanks!

    I was bothered by this 'bug' ages ago, and I was work-arounding it. So
    now I've spent some time in 'fixing' it with the patches on issue bpo-3379.
