I stopped looking for a global cross-platform solution and found this to
solve the problem.
def on_application_quit():
try:
popen.kill()
except OSError:
# Already dead
pass
cmds.scriptJob(
event=["quitApplication", on_application_quit],
protected=True
)
For the record, the API route did not.
def on_application_quit():
try:
popen.kill()
except OSError:
# Already dead
pass
OpenMaya.MSceneMessage.addCallback(OpenMaya.MSceneMessage.kMayaExiting,
on_application_quit)
Assuming this isn’t called until after whatever is deadlocking Maya.
