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 output 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.

Haven't you decided to replace python scripts?
scripts/mailmapper | 3 +-- scripts/multiconfig.py | 7 +------
At least the ones that are used during the build process.
