By the way, in another thread i've seen a link to issue960406, 
where Guido van Rossum states (in msg46074):

    Ideally, ^C should always cause the signal handler for
    SIGINT to be called, and the KeyboardInterrupt should be
    generated by the default SIGINT handler

Thus removing ISIG contradicts approaches Python has chosen to 
use a long time ago (tracks get lost, as always). 
Just in case anybody is not convinced yet that ISIG has to go.
