"atexit" --- Exit handlers
**************************

======================================================================

The "atexit" module defines functions to register and unregister *exit
handlers*: functions that are automatically executed "at exit", that
is, upon normal program termination (for instance, if "sys.exit()" is
called or the main module's execution completes) or, more generally,
upon *interpreter shutdown*.

At exit, all registered exit handlers are called in the *reverse*
order in which they were registered. If you register "A", "B", and
"C", at interpreter shutdown time they will be run in the order "C",
"B", "A". The assumption is that lower level modules will normally be
imported before higher level modules and thus must be cleaned up
later.

If an exception is raised during execution of an exit handler, a
traceback is printed (unless "SystemExit" is raised) and the exception
information is saved.  After all exit handlers have had a chance to
run, the last exception to be raised is re-raised.

In programs that use multiple interpreters, each interpreter has its
own stack of exit handlers, which are executed when the interpreter
shuts down (for example, with
"concurrent.interpreters.Interpreter.close()" or the C API
"Py_EndInterpreter()"). Registration functions in this module only
affect the interpreter they are called from.

**Note:** Exit handlers 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 "os._exit()" is called.

**Nota:** El efecto de registrar o cancelar el registro de funciones
dentro de una función de limpieza no esta definido.

Advertencia:

  When writing exit handlers, especially in C API extensions, keep in
  mind that other exit handlers may still run arbitrary Python code
  after you clean up. Such code should succeed or fail with an
  exception, rather than crash.

Distinto en la versión 3.12: Attempts to start a new thread or
"os.fork()" a new process in an exit handler now leads to
"RuntimeError". Previously, this could cause race conditions between
the main Python runtime thread freeing thread states while internal
"threading" routines or the new process try to use that state, which
could lead to crashes rather than clean shutdown.

Distinto en la versión 3.7: When used with subinterpreters, registered
functions are local to the interpreter they were registered in.

atexit.register(func, *args, **kwargs)

   Register *func* as an exit handler. Any optional arguments that are
   to be passed to *func* must be passed as arguments to "register()".
   It is possible to register the same function and arguments more
   than once.

   Esta función retorna *func*, lo que hace posible usarlo como
   decorador.

atexit.unregister(func)

   Remove *func* from the list of exit handlers. "unregister()"
   silently does nothing if *func* was not previously registered.  If
   *func* has been registered more than once, every occurrence of that
   function in the "atexit" call stack will be removed.  Equality
   comparisons ("==") are used internally during unregistration, so
   function references do not need to have matching identities.

"atexit" Example
================

El siguiente ejemplo muestra cómo un módulo puede inicializar un
contador desde un archivo cuando se importa, y guardar el valor del
contador actualizado automáticamente cuando finaliza el programa, sin
necesidad de que la aplicación realice una llamada explícita en este
módulo cuando el intérprete se detiene.

   try:
       with open('counterfile') as infile:
           _count = int(infile.read())
   except FileNotFoundError:
       _count = 0

   def incrcounter(n):
       global _count
       _count = _count + n

   def savecounter():
       with open('counterfile', 'w') as outfile:
           outfile.write('%d' % _count)

   import atexit

   atexit.register(savecounter)

Los argumentos posicionales y de palabras clave también se pueden
pasar a la función "register()" para volver a pasar a la función
registrada cuando se llama:

   def goodbye(name, adjective):
       print('Goodbye %s, it was %s to meet you.' % (name, adjective))

   import atexit

   atexit.register(goodbye, 'Donny', 'nice')
   # or:
   atexit.register(goodbye, adjective='nice', name='Donny')

Usar como un *decorator*:

   import atexit

   @atexit.register
   def goodbye():
       print('You are now leaving the Python sector.')

Esto solo funciona con funciones que se puedan llamar sin argumentos.
