According to the documentation of atexit module: The atexit module defines a single function to register cleanup functions. Functions thus registered are automatically executed upon normal interpreter termination. Note: the functions registered via this module are not called when the program is killed by a signal, when a Python fatal internal error is detected, or when os._exit() is called. Actually I have Python ported on vx-works. During initialization I am initializing some python interpreters, and each interpreter is associated with a specific buffer to send or receive the messages using underlying protocol (embedded in C library). Using same library I am using the subscription functionality. So when I am using Python to made subscriptions it register an entry. But if some user forgets to clear the subscription or script exited accidently due to some error, subscription still remain active. And when next time the same interpreter is used to execute some script, the older subscription create a trouble for the user. I want some implementation which guarantees the clearance of all the subscriptions at script exit (expected or unexpected) automatically.
