Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Core (C code) Group: Python 2.6 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Gustavo J. A. M. Carneiro (gustavo) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Py_signal_pipe Initial Comment: Problem: how to wakeup extension modules running poll() so that they can let python check for signals. Solution: use a pipe to communicate between signal handlers and main thread. The read end of the pipe can then be monitored by poll/select for input events and wake up poll(). As a side benefit, it avoids the usage of Py_AddPendingCall / Py_MakePendingCalls, which are patently not "async safe".
