It seems that one cannot start a thread in an atexit callback. My use case is that I have a IO heavy callback that I want to run in a thread so that other callbacks can finish while it's doing it's thing to save on exit time.
Example code (py3k) ############################################ import threading import time import atexit def print_(): print(1) time.sleep(1) print(2) def test(): threading.Thread(target=print_).start() atexit.register(test) ############################################ -- Zachary Burns (407)590-4814 Aim - Zac256FL Production Engineer (Digital Overlord) Zindagi Games -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
