[Python-Dev] RFC: PEP 475, Retry system calls failing with EINTR

[Charles-François Natali]

There's no return value, a KeywordInterrupt exception is raised.
The PEP wouldn't change this behavior.

As for the general behavior: all programming languages/platforms
handle EINTR transparently.
It's high time for Python to have a sensible behavior in this regard.
