Python 3.3+faulthandlerfunction

faulthandler.disable()

fault handler state

Disables the fault handler by removing the signal handlers installed by enable().

Syntax

faulthandler.disable()

Call it before closing the file you passed to enable(): the handler keeps the descriptor number, and once closed that number may go to another file — the crash traceback will land there. It does not touch the dump_traceback_later() timer or register() signals; those are cancelled separately. It returns None.

Examples

import faulthandler
with open('crash.log', 'w') as log:
    faulthandler.enable(file=log)
    faulthandler.disable()
print(faulthandler.is_enabled())  # → False
