The existing signal handler sets a flag, doesn't it? So it couldn't be any more broken than the current implementation. If we get too paranoid about this, we'll just end up deciding that signals can't be used for anything, at all, ever. That doesn't seem very helpful, although techically I suppose it would solve the problem. :-) My own conclusion from all this is that if you can't rely on writing to a variable in one part of your program and reading it back in another, then computer architectures have become far too clever for their own good. :-( -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
