Hello,

I've got this message:

signal.signal(signal.SIGALARM, myHandler) AttributeError: module 'signal' has no attribute 'SIGALARM'

Hi Gottfried, There is a typo in the snippet you've posted. If you replace 'signal.SIGALARM' with 'signal.SIGALRM' (no 'a' after 'l') it should work:

...

...

import signal def handler(signum, frame): pass ... signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, handler) 0

--Berker

I am using Manjaro/Python version 3.6.6.
