At least some errors cause dogtail to return non-zero.

% python -c "from dogtail import tree; tree.root.application('sldkjflsdjf')"
<failure to find the nonexistent app>
% echo $?
1

What errors are you seeing that don't cause it to do so?

It ought to be raising an exception when something goes wrong; if uncaught this leads to the Python process exiting with a traceback in stderr and a non-zero exit code.

I never was able to reproduce this. Works for me.
