Question

In Python, whever a module needs some kind of initialization, in order for it to be done automatically, you can just place the code in the module (with zero indent) to be executed on the first import (right?). Is there any way to do automatic deinitialization when the application closes and the modules get collected?

Answer 1

Here’s one way I found, to do this:

class __ModuleInitializer:
    def __init__(self):
        print('Module was initialized')

    def __del__(self):
        print('Module was deinitialized')

__module_init = __ModuleInitializer()
