The usual way to do what you're asking is

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
    goodbye()

and write main so that it returns after it's done all the things it's
supposed to do.  If you've sprinkled `sys.exit()` all over your code, then
don't do that.  If you're forced to deal with a library that hides
`sys.exit()` calls in the functions, then you have my sympathy.  Library
authors should not do that, and there have been threads on c.l.p explaining
why they shouldn't.
In such a case. one can do::

     if __name__ == '__main__':
         try:
             main()
         except SystemExit:
             pass
         goodbye()
