  On running the python script workclassoperations.py it thows
  SystemExit exception at the end (although the command completed
  successfully).
  

Problem conclusion

• WebSphere Network Deployment v9 moves up from python v2.1 to
  v2.7 which introduces some backward compatible issues.  In the
  case of workclassoperations.py it exits the script with
  sys.exit() without capturing the exception SystemExit, which is
  OK in python v2.1 but throws exception in python v2.7, even
  though the command executes successfully.  This fix will capture
  the SystemExit exception.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
  pack 9.0.0.1.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
  delivery information:

Temporary fix

• Update the following property in the
  WAS_HOME/properties/wsadmin.properties and
  WAS_PROFILE_HOME/properties/wsadmin.properties to set it to
  "true".  (The default is "false".)  Then, rerun the script.
