Is it necessary to alter or remove the exit function?

c:\dev\python\trunk\PCbuild9>python ..\Lib\idlelib\idle.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\dev\python\trunk\lib\idlelib\run.py", line 83, in main
    exit()
  File "c:\dev\python\trunk\lib\idlelib\run.py", line 209, in exit
    del sys.exitfunc
AttributeError: exitfunc

It was done for VPython support, as described in the docstring in 
run.py:exit().  What are you doing, removing sys.exitfunc from 
2.6? 

The 3.0 run.py code was changed to use atexit._clear().

Should be no problem then.

And yet some people were seeing this error.  I was not, on Linux, and I 
don't know why.  Fixed at r60227.
