Is that some sort of trick-question?


class MyThread(Thread):

    def run(self):
        while some_condition:
             do_something()
        do_something_after_the_thread_ends()

The atexit stuff is for process-termination which is/may be induced by 
external signals - which is the reason why these callbacks extist. 
Threads don't have that, thus no need.
