X-Git-Tag: v2.4a3~214
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=01884d56f40fb0f44b410f9a61fad638996a0d8d;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

Deprecate sys.exitfunc in favor of the atexit module.
Per Guido, sys.exitfunc will be kept around for backwards compatability
but atexit will become the one preferred way to do it.
