Module: Destructor/Cleanup Code/etc

[Dylan Shell]

How do I register a clean up function for a module written in C? While
I can find plenty of documentation for the "init<module_name>"
function... I don't see a single reference on a "done<module_name>" or
something analogous.

Obviously if I can't get code to run in closing time, then the
usefulness is far less (I mean, surely there is a recognition that
some modules will need to clean up after themselves.)

Call function register from standard library module atexit, passing it
the Python-callable function object you want to be called at exit,
and optionally positional and keyword arguments you want to be
used when that function is called. I.e., just like for a module written
in Python.
