[issue19983] Ctrl-C at startup can end in a Py_FatalError call

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

Ah, ok. So it's a controlled crash: Python fails initializing the standard streams and so it decides to bail out (by using Py_FatalError, since Py_Initialize doesn't return an error code).

What we could do is call initsigs() after initstdio() (but still before initsite(), since initsite() can call arbitrary Python code).

I'm a bit surprised that you manage to press Ctrl-C so fast that it occurs right during initialization of standard streams, by the way :-)
