SIGBREAK should be listed as acceptable for signal.signal() under Windows. Some context. Registering a handler for SIGBREAK may be useful as this is the signal that generating CTRL_BREAK_EVENT results in (and the latter combined with the CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP flag might be the closest that one can get to terminating a process group). Some pointers: * The changed documentation fragment: https://docs.python.org/3/library/signal.html#signal.signal. * MSDN doesn't say so much about SIGBREAK: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682541(v=vs.85).aspx. * SIGBREAK was added to the signal module with #466877. * The signal number check looks as follows: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.6/Modules/signalmodule.c#L402.
