No. If you want to run code when your application is shutting down, run 
it just before your code finishes:

def main():
   do_this()
   do_that()


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


If you care about code running even if an exception takes place:


if __name__ == '__main__':
    try:
        main()
    finally:
        shutdown()
