opposite of __init__.py

[Tamer Higazi]

Hi people!

I have asked myself a question, if there is a opposite of "__init__.py"
like "__del__.py" ?!

I want, that when the application ends, certain functions are executed.
I know I could make a constructor and a destructor, but I simply want to
know if there is a opposite....


Thanks

No. If you want to run code when your application is shutting down, run
it just before your code finishes:

def main():
do_this()
do_that()


if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
shutdown()


If you care about code running even if an exception takes place:


if __name__ == '__main__':
try:
main()
finally:
shutdown()
