Hallöchen! When my __del__ methods are called because the program is being terminated, I experience difficulties in calling functions that I need for a clean shutdown of my instances. So far, there has been only one of these functions, and a class-local alias solved the problem. However, now there are many of them.
Is there a way to detect whether the program is being terminated? (In this case, I wouldn't care and return from __del__ immediately.) Or do you know a cleaner solution? For example, if I have import vpp43 would it help to say def __init__(self): __vpp43 = vpp43 ... to guarantee that I can access all the routines in vpp43 in the __del__ method?
