I just tried on my system with python 3.6:

```
>>> pprint(list(signal.Signals))
[<Signals.SIGHUP: 1>,
 <Signals.SIGINT: 2>,
 <Signals.SIGQUIT: 3>,
 <Signals.SIGILL: 4>,
 <Signals.SIGTRAP: 5>,
 <Signals.SIGABRT: 6>,
 <Signals.SIGBUS: 7>,
 <Signals.SIGFPE: 8>,
 <Signals.SIGKILL: 9>,
 <Signals.SIGUSR1: 10>,
 <Signals.SIGSEGV: 11>,
 <Signals.SIGUSR2: 12>,
 <Signals.SIGPIPE: 13>,
 <Signals.SIGALRM: 14>,
 <Signals.SIGTERM: 15>,
 <Signals.SIGCHLD: 17>,
 <Signals.SIGCONT: 18>,
 <Signals.SIGSTOP: 19>,
 <Signals.SIGTSTP: 20>,
 <Signals.SIGTTIN: 21>,
 <Signals.SIGTTOU: 22>,
 <Signals.SIGURG: 23>,
 <Signals.SIGXCPU: 24>,
 <Signals.SIGXFSZ: 25>,
 <Signals.SIGVTALRM: 26>,
 <Signals.SIGPROF: 27>,
 <Signals.SIGWINCH: 28>,
 <Signals.SIGIO: 29>,
 <Signals.SIGPWR: 30>,
 <Signals.SIGSYS: 31>,
 <Signals.SIGRTMIN: 34>,
 <Signals.SIGRTMAX: 64>]
```

so I'm not sure what the issue is, but #worksforme.
