Re: [Python-Dev] Re: Signal-resistant code (was: Two random and nearly unrelated ideas)

Could we connect signals to semaphores or locks or something like that? That would allow you to do the two things that i think are worth doing in a signal handler: setting a flag and/or making some other part of the code wake up.

But that mixes signals with threads, which is even more poorly standardized than signals in general. --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
