maybe just do

if options.output_json is None:
  parser.error("--output-json is required")

and ditch the stdout path.

+  if options.dump_mode:
+    if options.output_json:
+      with open(options.output_json, 'w') as f:
+        json.dump(dict(os.environ), f)
+    else:
+      print json.dumps(dict(os.environ))
+    return

let's do an else: instead of the early return

+
+  if not options.output_json:
+    parser.error('Requires --output-json or --dump-mode argument.')
+
+  envsetup_cmd = ' '.join(args)
+  full_cmd = [
+      'bash', '-c',
+      '. %s; ./%s -d -f %s' % (envsetup_cmd, __file__, options.output_json)]
+  ret = subprocess.call(full_cmd)
+  if ret:
+    sys.exit('Error running %s and dumping env', envsetup_cmd)
+
+
+if __name__ == '__main__':
+  sys.exit(main())
