Guido van Rossum added the comment:

I have a question. Is there actually any need for this with asyncio? The 
selector already handles EINTR, and all the I/O done by asyncio's transports 
already handles it too (there are "except (BlockingIOError, InterruptedError)" 
clauses all over the place).

Any *other* I/O syscalls (unless a program violates the asyncio rules against 
doing your own blocking I/O) would either be disk file I/O, which IIUC cannot 
elicit EINTR, or run in a separate thread, where presumably it wouldn't be 
interrupted by a signal handler, since SIGCHLD is delivered to the main thread. 
 (It's actually the last part I am not 100% sure of.)
