Summary: sigprocmask: None argument
Initial Comment:
signal.sigprocmask ought allow a None argument instead
of a signal sequence:
a) cur_mask = signal.sigprocmask(any_but_SETMASK, [])
# sigprocmask(how, &empty_set, &cur_mask)
b) cur_mask = signal.sigprocmask(dummy, None)
# sigprocmask(dummy, NULL, &cur_mask)
"a" is slightly more work for the kernel, and permits
accidental SETMASKing. "b" avoids both, and is
comfortably analogous to the familiar, ugly C interface
(as opposed to, say, cur_mask = signal.sigprocmask()).

I've withdrawn the sigprocmask code from CVS, so this
feature request no longer applies.
Sorry.

Sounds fair enough.
Should warn you that the sigmask stuff is currently not
being compiled owing to unpleasantly exciting x-platform
behaviour. I ought to do something about that, too.
What platform are you on?
