This value is not actually defined by the module, but can be set by
the user (or by a program) to specify a clean-up action at program
exit. When set, it should be a parameterless function. This function
- will be called when the interpreter exits in any way (except when a
- fatal error occurs: in that case the interpreter's internal state
- cannot be trusted).
+ will be called when the interpreter exits. Note: the exit function
+ is not called when the program is killed by a signal, when a Python
+ fatal internal error is detected, or when \code{os._exit()} is called.
