[New-bugs-announce] [issue22696] Add a function to know about interpreter shutdown

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou:

I propose to add a new function sys.shutting_down() (name debatable) returning True if the interpreter is currently shutting down.

This would be a function so that you can bind it and avoid having it wiped at shutdown :-)
