[New-bugs-announce] [issue8714] Delayed signals in the REPL on OpenBSD (possibly libpthread related)

[Stefan Krah]

New submission from Stefan Krah <stefan-usenet at bytereef.org>:

On OpenBSD, SIGINT handling in the REPL is delayed until further input:

Python 2.7b2+ (trunk:81162, May 14 2010, 14:47:52) 
[GCC 3.3.5 (propolice)] on openbsd4
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>  <= here Ctrl-C is pressed but nothing appears
Only after hitting <Return> a traceback appears:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
KeyboardInterrupt


This behavior was introduced (exposed by?) r68460.


When Python is compiled without threads, the behavior is normal.
