According to the documentation of atexit module:

The atexit module defines a single function to register cleanup
functions. Functions thus registered are automatically executed upon
normal interpreter termination.

Note: the functions registered via this module are not called when the
program is killed by a signal, when a Python fatal internal error is
detected, or when os._exit() is called.

Actually I have Python ported on vx-works. During initialization I am
initializing some python interpreters, and each interpreter is
associated with a specific buffer to send or receive the messages
using underlying protocol (embedded in C library). Using same library
I am using the subscription functionality. So when I am using Python
to made subscriptions it register an entry. But if some user forgets
to clear the subscription or script exited accidently due to some
error, subscription still remain active. And when next time the same
interpreter is used to execute some script, the older subscription
create a trouble for the user. I want some implementation which
guarantees the clearance of all the subscriptions at script exit
(expected or unexpected) automatically.

Thanks for your reply.
