This is not entirely correct, the builtin exit() function also takes an
exit code and works fine when I tested this:

  $ python3 -c "exit(1)"; echo $?
  1
  $

Nevertheless the documentation [1] says that sys.exit() should be used
in scripts. So the patch is fine, but the justification not entirely
correct.
