1. [New issue] signal module does not work on non-Windows machines
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/32627
User jdhardy has proposed the issue:
"The current implementation of 'signal' is Windows-specific. Getting it to work
on Mono will take some trickery in the code, but it should be possible.
Dino's take:
"It looks like the current signal implementation won't work off of Windows.
There's a call to SetConsoleControlHandler that happens when the signal module
gets imported - which is very windows specific and is going to fail on all
other platforms.
This can all be handled at runtime in a graceful way, but the calls to platform
specific APIs need to be moved into non-inlinable methods. In this case it
seems like the 2 implementations are going to be pretty different given that
everyone but windows has a reasonable signal function, so it might start to get
to be a pain to keep both in the same module at the same time. If someone
wanted to get really adventurous they could add a platform attribute to
PlatformID parameter to PythonModuleAttribute and have different
implementations of modules for different platforms - then implementing the Unix
signal implementation is probably pretty easy.""
