Inconsistent return types between Cmd.cmdloop and Cmd.onecmd / Cmd.onecmd_plus_hooks
Whilst cmdloop returns integer values useful for system exit codes, onecmd and onecmd_plus_hooks return booleans, which I find surprising.
Desired change
I would prefer onecmd to also return the exit_code attribute of the Cmd class. This would give consistent exit codes for applications that run interactively via cmdloop or execute a single command.
Example:
[...]
app = cmd.Cmd()
if interactive_mode:
return app.cmdloop()
else:
return app.onecommand(commandstring)
