As mentioned in PEP 3100, this patch removes the interpreter's support for sys.exitfunc. This patch is against r47222.

How is the atexit module to work after this patch? (It could be reimplemented in C and reuse the old exitfunc functionality.)

Guido suggested renaming sys.exitfunc to sys._exitfunc: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2007-March/006100.html

Hm, that doesn't make me too happy. Why do we need exitfunc at all if we have atexit?

Me, either. I'd prefer to reimplement atexit in C and make use of something like the Py_AtExit-related functionality in pythonrun.c.

Then let's come up with a patch and sneak it in while Guido isn't watching

See #1680961 for an atexit rewrite. In any case, I think we can close this.
