As signals are only delivered to the main thread, what should happen when the main thread dies? Currently, the signal mask is not unset in any other thread, so when the main thread dies, all signals set in the mask are simply ignored. Perhaps an other thread could be selected as the main thread? The accompanied file demonstrates this behavior. |

I think there has been some discussion of signals, in the last year, on the py-dev list (== gmane.comp.python.devel), which is archived both on the python site and gmane.org. Signals seem to be a somewhat nasty subject. Since you only raise a question rather than proposing a specific, possible change, I am closing this for now. I suggest you open a discussion on python-list (mirrored as newsgroup gmane.comp.python.general). Perhaps a specific proposal would come from that, perhaps you would find that your idea is impossible. |
