[New-bugs-announce] [issue12060] Python doesn't support real time signals

[STINNER Victor]

New submission from STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com>:

If a real time signal is raised 2 times whereas the signal is blocked, unblock the signal will call the signal handler twice. The C signal handler of the Python signal module only stores a boolean to say if the Python signal handler should be called or not in Py_CheckSignals().

If the C signal handler is called twice, the Python signal handler is only called once.

Attached patch is a draft to fix this issue. The patch is not completly safe.
