Content
Here is a proposal for an API: * getsignal: return the Python-level signal handler (this is an existing function) * setsignal: set the Python-level signal handler (but not the OS-level signal handler) * getossignal: get the OS-level signal handler as opaque object * setossignal: set the OS-level signal handler with an opaque object Using these primitives, you could implement anything that you want on a higher level.
