Comment (by jdemeyer):

 Replying to [comment:16 stumpc5]:

 Not very serious. Interrupt handling might be a bit messed up, in
 particular some interrupts (CTRL-C) might be seen twice: once by the
 default Python handler (`raise KeyboardInterrupt`) and once by the special
 Sage handler (written in C).

 The line
 {{{
 signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, sage_python_check_interrupt)
 }}}
 is mainly used to ensure that only the Sage signal handler is used.

 But this will certainly have no consequences beyond interrupt handling.
