The C library provides zmq_poll(), which returns -1 on error and set the errno 
accordingly. I'm particularly interested by errno=EINTR, which means: "The 
operation was interrupted by delivery of a signal before any events were 
available."

Now if we look at the Python code there is zmq.Poller.poll(timeout=None). This 
functions returns the list of events that are ready to be processed. There is 
no mention of how zmq.Poller.poll() behaves when a signal is received. In fact, 
I did a test and it seems that zmq.Poller.poll() simply cannot be interrupted. 
I need to implement a loop that is waiting forever on a couple of sockets. 
However, I want to be able to send a signal (HANGUP) to that process to tell it 
to stop polling and reload its configuration. Please let me know how I can do 
this.

Thanks.
