| <hr class="docutils" /> | |
| <p>The <code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">atexit</span></code> module defines functions to register and unregister cleanup | |
| functions. Functions thus registered are automatically executed upon normal | |
| interpreter termination. <code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">atexit</span></code> runs these functions in the <em>reverse</em> | |
| order in which they were registered; if you register <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">A</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">B</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">C</span></code>, | |
| at interpreter termination time they will be run in the order <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">C</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">B</span></code>, | |
| <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">A</span></code>.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Note:</strong> The functions registered via this module are not called when the | |
| program is killed by a signal not handled by Python, when a Python fatal | |
| internal error is detected, or when <a class="reference internal" href="os.html#os._exit" title="os._exit"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">os._exit()</span></code></a> is called.</p> | |
| <p><strong>Note:</strong> The effect of registering or unregistering functions from within | |
| a cleanup function is undefined.</p> | |

| last in, first out order. The assumption is that lower level modules will | |

| later.</p> | |
| <p>If an exception is raised during execution of the exit handlers, a traceback is | |
