Brian Curtin <cur...@acm.org> added the comment: Those two signals are only intended to work with os.kill -- they are specific to the GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent function in Modules/posixmodule.c. I'll have to change the documentation to note that.
If you want to send those events to other processes, have a look at os.kill and some example usage in Lib/test/test_os.py and Lib/test/win_console_handler.py. This also needs better documentation. ---------- assignee: -> brian.curtin components: +Documentation nosy: +brian.curtin stage: -> needs patch title: CTRL_C_EVENT and CTRL_BREAK_EVENT cannot be registered by signal.signal() method on windows -> Document CTRL_C_EVENT and CTRL_BREAK_EVENT usage on Windows versions: +Python 3.2 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9524> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
