-The \module{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

+The \module{atexit} module defines functions to register and

-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}.
+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 \function{os._exit()} is called.
