We'are sorry but we cannot help you. This mailing list is to work on

python-list (comp.lang.python) news group/mailing list is the best place.

Thank you for understanding.
This is a polite boilerplate response for off-topic posts. I suppose
'using' should be expanded to 'using or understanding'.
Regarding SIGKILL - read "man kill" carefully. Or better yet, a Unix
programmer guide.
Wha? How could this not be the right place? He's not asking about
USING python, but asking: WHERE in the PYTHON CODE BASE does the
signal get checked?
Right, he asked about how Python operates, which is a constant type of
question on python-list and which has nothing to do with developing the
next version(s) of Python.
A-bit-miffed-at-the-cold-shoulderly yours,
Py-dev was started when python-list because unusable for development. If
this list were to become, in turn, overwhelmed with general questions,
as it would be it non-development questions were not directed elsewhere,
then the devs would have to start a new python-really-development-only
list, and perhaps not make it so public.
If someone tries an advanced question on python-list first and gets no
answer, then there might be an excuse to turn to py-dev to grab the
attention of those developers who do not ever read python-list. But in
this case, the question was readily answered there, in part by devs who
do frequent both. The OP acknowledged there that he acted on prejudice
and should have posted there in the first place.
