You're looking at the wrong section: "The exit() function shall then flush all open streams with unwritten buffered data, close all open streams" Then a couple lines below: "The _Exit() [CX] and _exit() functions shall not call functions registered with atexit() nor any registered signal handlers. Whether open streams are flushed or closed, or temporary files are removed is implementation-defined." It's guaranteed for exit(), not _Exit()/_exit(). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17852> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
