Turn signal.SIG* constants into enums
In Python 3.4 some module constants were turned into enums. The affected modules were socket (AF_INET*, SOCK_*) and pslistlib (FMT_*). For 3.5 there's a plan to do the same thing for ssl's PROTOCOL_* constants: http://bugs.python.org/issue21068 To me signal module looks like another good candidate which could benefit from this. Here's a real world example: http://docs.python.org/dev/library/asyncio-eventloop.html#example-set-signal... Thoughts? -- Giampaolo - http://grodola.blogspot.com
