Hello Pythonistas!
I'm trying to get this program, which works on the command line, to run
correctly in the IDLE environment:
import atexit
print "This is my program"
def exit_func():
print "OK.. that's all folks!"
atexit.register(exit_func)
print "Program is ending..."
When I run this on the command line I see:
This is my program
Program is ending...
OK.. that's all folks!
When I run this in IDLE I see:
This is my program
Program is ending...
But the atexit handler is never called. ;-(
I tried to fish through the IDLE source to see how the program is actually
called, and I decided it looked like it was being invoked with with os.spawnv,
but I'm not sure why this would defeat the atexit handler. Anybody know? I'd
like to register such a function in my module, but I need it to work in IDLE so
that students can easily use it.
thanks!
