That's the issue, an extension developer shouldn't be able to discard it, as I, the embedder, do not want my hook to be clobbered. The extension developer doesn't set the context of the application, the embedder does. > What if more than one extension needs it ? Firstly, I don't think it is likely an extension module *by itself* would ever have to initialize something that would *require* some form of cleanup if the app were to fatal out. If it did, I imagine that it would be suspect of poor design, any exceptions likely to be few and far between. Now, that doesn't mean its use during the process might not create some state or side effect where cleanup would be nice. Although, chances are that such cleanup should occur during normal operations, and be handled via a Python exception, something that a fatal is not. -- Regards, James William Pye
