addCloseCallback(callback)

Register a Python callback to be called whenever the last Houdini Python Shell is closed.

callback

Any callable Python object that expects no parameters. It could be a Python function, a bound method, or any object implementing __call__.

def cleanup():
    # Here is where you would run your cleanup code when
    # the Python shell has closed.
    pass
hou.ui.shellIO().addCloseCallback(cleanup)

You might use this function to cleanly terminate any mechanisms that are dependent on the Python shell. For example, you can register a callback which disables an object from logging output messages to the shell.
