All, I have searched everywhere (mostly the code and a little google) and I cannot understand where the SIGKILL signal gets checked when it is set as a handler.

Possibly it's not being checked at all by Python, but
is being rejected by the system call. The Darwin man
page says this about signal(3) in the ERRORS section:

     [EINVAL]           An attempt is made to ignore or supply a handler for
                        SIGKILL or SIGSTOP.

Not sure why it gets reported as a RuntimeError rather
than an OSError, though.
