Unfortunately (?) the question also revealed a lack of understanding of a fairly basic concept.

No, you misunderstood. He knew that one cannot set a SIGKILL signal handler. He just wanted to find the code in CPython responsible for turning that error into an exception for the purposes of giving a tutorial on signals. Reid
