Hi,

Has the signal module been reduced to a stub in the GAE Python
environment, for internal reasons?

I've been building an application that slurps a feed on a separate
site. To do that, I used whatever was close to hand, which happened to
be Mark Nottingham's RSS.py:

  http://www.mnot.net/python/RSS.py

This works fine in a local (1.1.9) GAE environment, but on uploading I
see an error, that the module "signal" has no attribute "signal".
Here's the core Python signal module docs:

  http://docs.python.org/library/signal.html

But if I put "print dir(signal)" in the RSS module at that point, the
only attributes it has are internal: __doc__ (= None) and __name__ .
So what's going on there, and should the downloadable GAE framework at
least replicate this behaviour, so we have warning before uploading?

(Switching to feedparser fixes the immediate problem: http://www.feedparser.org/
. But it'd be good to know what's going on!)

Cheers,
J-P
