Signals can directly kill a process.  Try SIGTERM to see this.  SIGINT is 
caught and handled by Python, which just happens to default to a graceful exit 
(unless stuck in a lib that prevents that.)  Try pasting your script into an 
interactive interpreter session and you'll see that it doesn't exit at all.
