python2.6 atexit not working with programme using threads, but python 2.5 works

[Alan]

Hi there,


I got a code here to investigate and one big issue is that it uses threads
and have a cleanup function (that will halt the threads) called via atexit.
That all work fine with python 2.5 but when using python 2.6, if I have
threading running, atexit never calls my cleanup function. If explicitly do
cleanup(...) it works. If I have no threads on, atexit works too.

Any idea of how to debug this would very appreciated.

Thanks,

Alan
