I'm forwarding bug #689431 from Debian [1]:

"Eike discovered that bpython does not cleanly pass on the script's exit status to the parent shell in interactive mode.

Example:

1. Call bpython.
2. Type exit(120)
3. Check with echo $?

Result:

$ bpython; echo $?
# enter exit(120)
0

Expected result:

$ bpython; echo $?
# enter exit(120)
120"

And indeed, the vanilla Python interpreter exits with 120 in that case.
