https://wiki.python.org/moin/GlobalInterpreterLock In #CPython, the #global#interpreter lock, or #GIL, is a mutex that prevents multiple native #threads from executing Python bytecodes at once. This lock is necessary mainly because CPython's memory management is not thread-safe. (However, since the GIL exists, other features have grown to depend on the guarantees that it enforces.)

https://docs.python.org/3/library/atexit.html The #atexit module defines #functions to #register and #unregister cleanup functions. Functions thus registered are automatically executed upon normal interpreter termination. atexit runs these functions in the reverse order in which they were registered; if you register A, B, and C, at #interpreter#termination time they will be run in the order C, B, A.
