There is no guarantee that the signal handler is called in the main thread. On FreeBSD, if I remember correctly, it is called in a random thread. You can control which thread gets the signal using signal.pthread_sigmask() (block signals in other threads) and signal.pthread_kill() (send a signal a specific thread). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19850> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
