Dear List,
I was writing a Python extension module, including a sleeping call to
poll(2), and noticed, to my great surprise (and joy), that even when
blocking there, KeyboardInterrupt still worked properly when sending
SIGINTs to the interpreter. It really got me wondering how it works,
though.

So how does it work? Does my code get to return Py_FALSE, and the
interpreter ignores it, seeing that an exception is set? Is a non-local
exit performed right over my call stack (in which case my next question
would be how to clean up resources being used from my C code)?
