New submission from Gregory P. Smith: The atexit module's _run_exitfuncs() function needs to be a public API. In Python 2.x it was exposed through a disgusting hack as "sys.exitfunc()" that the atexit module monkeypatched into place at import time.
This monkeypatching was cleaned up in Python 3. But it is still useful to expose this to users who need to write their own program shutdown code that ultimately calls os._exit or similar (avoiding atexit hooks that way) but also need to make sure the atexit exit functions get called. ---------- messages: 172505 nosy: gregory.p.smith priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: atexit._run_exitfuncs should be a public API type: enhancement versions: Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16178> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
