Hi William, I figured out how to catch GAP interrupts in libgap. Basically, I use the existing Sage's abort() functionality, inserted in the appropriate place in GAP's ReadEvalDebug function, to escape back to gap.pyx from the GAP interpreter loop. Hopefully this should be sufficient to mimic most of the functionality of the existing pexpect interface. Although certainly there is still quite a bit of code to write.
As well, I wonder whether the recent Jeroen's rewrite of sign_on/ sign_off stuff should be used instead of the current functionality --- are there any immediate plans to do such a move to Jeroen's code? I'll report the progress on this on the corresponding trac ticket, when I have more time over the coming Chinese New Year. (I started to teach two new courses this week, and this does not give me much time for Sage or anything else --- while I am also supposed to work on 3 or 4 papers with various people).
