Well, if he lost/loses interest for whatever reason, I'd be willing to provide. Although, if m.u.k. is going to write it, please be sure to include a CPP macro/define, so that embedders could recognize the feature without having to run explicit checks or do version based fingerprinting. (I'd be interested to follow the patch if you(muk) put it up!) Hrm, although, I don't think it would be wise to allow extension modules to set this. IMO, there should be some attempt to protect it; ie, once it's initialized, don't allow reinitialization, as if the embedder is handling it, it should be handled through the duration of the process. So, a static function pointer in pythonrun.c initialized to NULL, a protective setter that will only allow setting if the pointer is NULL, and Py_FatalError calling the pointer if pointer != Py_FatalError. Should [Py_FatalError] fall through if the hook didn't terminate the process to provide some level of warranty that the process will indeed die?
