How to stop the embedded python and environment?

[arkanoid87]

Is there a reason why Py_FinalizeEx is not available / never called?

No. Is there a reason it should be?

[arkanoid87]

During a hunt for memory leaks in an application a developer might want to free all memory allocated by Python before exiting from the application

My case: SciNim/scinim#8

Dunno, I don't find it too essential to be in nimpy, especially that it's 2 lines away anyway for those who need it, as you demonstrated in SciNim/scinim#8:

proc pyFinalize() =
  let Py_FinalizeEx = cast[proc():int{.pyfunc.}](py_lib.pyLib.module.symAddr("Py_FinalizeEx"))
  doAssert Py_FinalizeEx() == 0
