atexit handlers - getting the return code

[Giampaolo Rodolà]

You mean the registered function return value or the process return code?
In the first case you can do something such as:

import atexit

@atexit.register
def cleanup():
     def actual_function():
           ...
           return something
     ret = actual_function()
     # do something with ret

In the latter case you can use sys.exit(code).
