Yeah. To force this problem (couldn't trigger it) I set everything to None in threading and then tried this. It triggered the right error, but the function registered with atexit also threw a fit. But that is a forced error since atexit will do its thing before teardown, right?

It better. :-)

Regardless, I will try to go through the code and see if there are any other points during the shutdown the reference a global and see if there is a way to solve it cleanly. Otherwise I guess people just need to shutdown there threading instances properly.

Note that None is also a global... :-(
