Get cpu_times just before process dead

[fontealpina]

I was wandering if there is a way to get the cpu time of a process just before it dies?
It could be possible with a thread that monitors it with a p.cpu_times(),
but is there a way to get it in a one shot?
Thanks

If you need to do this for your own process (or its children) just register a signal handler (a callable) for SIGTERM (check signal.signal), then do whatever you have to do in there.
Incidentally doing that "right" can be kinda tricky, but fortunately for you I wrote a recipe exactly for doing that. =)

If you're on Windows this may be troublesome as signals don't work the same way as on UNIX (basically they suck).

If you need to do this for a PID/process which is not owned by you then there's no way to do this.
