Description

Hi everyone,

I am using mccabe with python command line: python -m mccabe --min 1 ./containers_sugar/sugar.py
and it doesn't raise any error code (>0) when there are functions with complexity greater than the threshold.

Is there anything I am missing? is it the correct behavior?

Research direction

Reproduce the reported behavior with python -m mccabe --min 1 ./containers_sugar/sugar.py, using a file that contains functions above the threshold. Then trace the Python command-line entry point to determine how complexity findings affect the process exit code. Done means the intended behavior is confirmed or a regression test demonstrates the correct nonzero status.
