57 | </H2> | |
58 | ||
59 | <P> | |
60 | The following simple example demonstrates how a module can initialize | |
61 | a counter from a file when it is imported and save the counter's | |
62 | updated value automatically when the program terminates without | |
63 | relying on the application making an explicit call into this module at | |
64 | termination. | |
65 | ||
66 | <P> | |
67 | <div class="verbatim"><pre> | |
68 | try: | |
69 | _count = int(open("/tmp/counter").read()) | |
70 | except IOError: | |
71 | _count = 0 | |
72 | ||
73 | def incrcounter(n): | |
74 | global _count | |
75 | _count = _count + n | |
76 | ||
77 | def savecounter(): | |
78 | open("/tmp/counter", "w").write("%d" % _count) | |
79 | ||
80 | import atexit | |
81 | atexit.register(savecounter) | |
82 | </pre></div> | |
83 | ||
84 | <P> | |
85 | Positional and keyword arguments may also be passed to | |
86 | <tt class="function">register()</tt> to be passed along to the registered function | |
87 | when it is called: | |
88 | ||
89 | <P> | |

91 | def goodbye(name, adjective): | |
92 | print 'Goodbye, %s, it was %s to meet you.' % (name, adjective) | |
