[New-bugs-announce] [issue17186] no way to introspect registered atexit handlers

[Chris Withers]

New submission from Chris Withers:

Python 2 had a private but usable way of introspecting and manipulating registered atexit handlers by way of the atexit._exithandlers.

In Python 3, registering and unregistering are handled, but there is no longer a way to see what atexit handlers are registered.

Barry suggested filing a bug to have this added as a new feature for Python 3.4. Some kind of read-only sequence would be fine, if the original list can no longer be exposed.
