[collinwinter]

As mentioned in PEP-3100, this patch removes the
interpreter's support for sys.exitfunc.

This patch is against r47222.

[birkenfeld]

How is the atexit module to work after this patch?

(It could be reimplemented in C and reuse the old exitfunc functionality.)

[collinwinter]

Guido suggested renaming sys.exitfunc to sys._exitfunc: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2007-March/006100.html

[birkenfeld]

Hm, that doesn't make me too happy. Why do we need exitfunc at all if we have atexit?

[collinwinter]

Me, either. I'd prefer to reimplement atexit in C and make use of something like the Py_AtExit-related functionality in pythonrun.c.

[birkenfeld]

Then let's come up with a patch and sneak it in while Guido isn't watching <wink>

[birkenfeld]

See bpo-1680961 for an atexit rewrite.
In any case, I think we can close this.
