Is this considered a bug? Sure, deleting modules from sys.modules isn't quite common, but it happened to me on one occasion.

Python 2.4.3 (#1, Jul 29 2006, 10:52:20)

import logging import sys del logging del sys.modules['logging'] ^D Error in atexit._run_exitfuncs: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/atexit.py", line 24, in _run_exitfuncs func(*targs, **kargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/logging/init.py", line 1328, in shutdown for h in _handlerList[:]: # was _handlers.keys(): TypeError: unsubscriptable object Error in sys.exitfunc: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/atexit.py", line 24, in _run_exitfuncs func(*targs, **kargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/logging/init.py", line 1328, in shutdown for h in _handlerList[:]: # was _handlers.keys(): TypeError: unsubscriptable object

Obviously, _handlerList (as a global) is already cleaned up, which is why the subscript fails.
