Comment(by glynn):

 Replying to [comment:3 huhabla]:

 > A simple example:
 {{{
 CLEANUP_HANDLER = CFUNCTYPE(c_void_p, c_void_p)(cleanup_handler)
 }}}

 I think that this should be

 {{{
 CLEANUP_HANDLER = CFUNCTYPE(None, c_void_p)(cleanup_handler)
 }}}

 The return type should be "void", not "void *".

 > Raising a !FatalErrorException is a bit pointless, but it works as
 expected. The main problem is that i have no clue how to cast the Python
 string from void pointer in the clean up handler, or how to cast any other
 Python object i need to clean up?

 I think that the handler should just call sys.exit(), so that any exit
 handlers registered with atexit.register() are called.
