[Python-Dev] Proposal: standard way of defining and executing "atexit" functions...

Hi,

this should have been 'sys.exitfunc'.
I've also misssed to note, that I placed the following line into 
the module init code: 

import sys; def _nop(): pass; sys.exitfunc = _nop
Otherwise I had to use getattr(sys, 'exitfunc', None) as David suggested.

Next time I should actually cut'n'paste working code instead typing from
blurred memory. :-(

Another point I forgot, was that you usually want to install signal
handlers on unices, that handle the signal.SIGTERM, signal.SIGHUP and
signal.SIGINT signals and invoke exit function to do some final
cleanup.
