Is this a bug? Signal handling in Python is asynchronous. https://docs.python.org/3/library/signal.html#execution-of-python-signal-handlers The example code tests whether the interpreter responds synchronously and immediately. If you add `for _in range(1): pass` or a call to any Python function in between the `os.kill(pid, SIGNUM)` and the `if not self.called:` then the test passes.
