Summary: python doesn't define SIG*

Initial Comment:
[please CC 109292@bugs.debian.org on replies. the 
original report can be found at 
http://bugs.debian.org/109292]

There is a function, os.kill( <pid>, <sig> ).  
However, there are no symbolic
name definitions for <sig>.  The values for signals 
can vary by arch and by
operating system.  Please add some definitions.

Thanks. IMO a cross reference in the library docs for 
os.kill would be apropriate.

should another report be opened for this request?

Import signal to get the SIG* names appropriate for your 
platform; e.g., try

import signal
dir(signal)

at an interactive prompt to see what's there.
