You can handle SEGV and BUS. Though probably not meaningfully in Python, haven't tried; if they fire in Python something internal is already badly wrong.
IIRC, in the distant past the Bourne shell used SIGSEGV as a trigger to allocate more memory:-)
Really, the only 3 a UNIX process can't intercept are the first three: STOP, CONT, KILL.
Since everything else Martin says seems to be in the context of "in Python", no other quibbles.
