Signals are a gigantic mess. I'm starting to doubt that you realize the extent of the brain damage. While I would be pleased if there was some way Python could hide the mess, I'm not convinced it is possible.

Ah... I can almost hear the pain, frustration and despair in your voice. Obviously Guido and you got burned by this. I know other old-time Unix hackers with the same attitude. From my experience signals on Linux work just fine - I don't carry any signal scars. I can show off my Oracle scars, though. They're really gnarly. I can't hear that name mentioned without turning completely irrational about it. Certain embedded software and hardware makers also make me want to scream. Oren
