(What's happening: it's so unresponsive when i try your code .. :)
Rather, i want an interactive python to integrate itself 
neatlessly into normal shell job control, say! 
Thus i always hope that a program takes care about SIGCONT!!

I'm stuck here, grep(1)ing everywhere and only find 
Modules/signalmodule.c for SIGCONT and SIGTSTP (it's *NOT* SunOS). 
Where is Python handling job control?
