To be honest, I've never thought about that. If you need to care about reentrancy, you should perhaps use some kind of global flag to detect it (hopefully you won't run into weird edge cases...). > (Antoine, I *so* wish I could be doing less with signals and signal > handlers right now.

Ha, I wisk you good luck with that :-) Best regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/KBD7XG5QPRQRP52FVPAFLZ3G6PSPPVYE/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
