handling SIGINT

[Jeff Davis]

I've got a python module that I wrote in C and it spends a good portion of
the time sleep()ing. When I run the python program that calls the C module
than a SIGINT only interrupts the current sleep and the main program can't
intercept the signal.

This may not be python-specific, but how do I handle a SIGINT while the
program is sleep()ing?

Thanks,
