Some one please chim in if I am wrong here, but it is my understanding that control-s only stops output being displayed to the terminal. It won't actually stop things from happening. It is ment if things are scrolling to fast and you to stop to read it. Control-Q is its counter-part to continue output.
Now it may be possible that these are signals that can be trapped by python, but I think they are received in the tty layer and never get passed to python. The only thing that I can think of that can answer this question is actually killing the emerge [like w/ control-c], then starting it up again w/ emerge --resume. I know the --resume feature is new since 2.47 and was ment incase you emerge -e world, although it may have more uses. I can also tell you that --resume will have to start from the start of the last package it was working on, however it will not redo any that it has already finished.
