Well, the doc clearly says "Since Python’s internal finalization will have completed before the cleanup function, no Python APIs should be called by func". Why wouldn't you clean up the dict (if it exists) at module initialization instead? You will have a working Python runtime at this point. That said, we could hack a 2.7-specific hack to the patch, in order to disable the trashcan mechanism at shutdown. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17703> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
