+ Note: This module is unlikely to work correctly when used with other code
+ that sets \code{sys.exitfunc}.  In particular, other core Python modules are
+ free to use \module{atexit} without the programmer's knowledge.  Authors who
+ use \code{sys.exitfunc} should convert their code to use
+ \module{atexit} instead.  The simplest way to convert code that sets
+ \code{sys.exitfunc} is to import \module{atexit} and register the function
+ that had been bound to \code{sys.exitfunc}.
