[issue9994] Python becoming orphaned over ssh

[Gregory P. Smith]

Ah right, thanks.  I added a restore_signals=True argument to Popen in Python 3.2's subprocess module that does what you want:

http://docs.python.org/dev/library/subprocess.html

The way to emulate that in earlier versions is to use a preexec_fn to restore the signal handler for SIGPIPE to SIGDFL.

You can also use backport of 3.2's subprocess module available here: http://code.google.com/p/python-subprocess32/
