Hi Hameed,

Here's a small test program that shows that the signal handling does go
back to where we left off:

##############################################
import signal
import time

def handler(signum, frame):
    print "alarm!"
    signal.alarm(2)

signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, handler)
signal.alarm(2)

while True:
    print "hello"
    time.sleep(1)
###############################################

This should be doable.  What can we help with?
