On one hand, you may not want to call the user's atexit handlers multiple times from different processes if they have externally visible effects. On the other hand, people seem to assume that Py_Finalize will be called at process exit to do various cleanups. On the third hand, maybe Python could just clear out all the atexit handlers in the child after a fork. So what should the correct behavior be?
Seems to me there's no single answer to that, because some kinds of atexit handlers may need to be called in child processes, while others may need *not* to be. Maybe we need a flag when registering an atexit handler to indicate whether it should be kept across forks? -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
