Hi, I am trying to connect SIGINT (^c) to a custom interrupt handler like this (no threading, just straightforward):
if __name__ == "__main__": quit = False def interrupt_handler(signal, frame): global quit if not quit: print "blabla, i'll finish my task and quit kind of message" print "Press ^C again to interrupt immediately." else: sys.exit(2) quit = True signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, interrupt_handler) # main will use the quit flag to determine if it should quit before next # task status = main() This worked fine in some rare lucky cases, but most of the times, the module I am using (my university's seismology project) catches the SIGINT and quits: select.error: (4, 'Interrupted system call') How can I prevent the imported module's function from catching the interrupt signal? Thanks to anyone that takes the time to help me... Chris -- Chris Scheingraber - www.scheingraber.net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
