Thomas Kluyver added the comment: I'd like to make the case for a fix in the code again. Our use case is, I believe, the same as Vilya's. We want to temporarily set a signal handler from Python and then restore the previous handler. This is fairly straightforward for Python handler functions, and SIG_DFL and SIG_IGN, but it breaks if anything has set a C level signal handler.
The opaque wrapper object is a solution that had occurred to me too. Another option would be a context manager implemented in C (I assume context managers can be written in C) which can set one or more signal handlers on entry, and restore them on exit. ---------- nosy: +takluyver _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13285> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
