Some general rules for working with signals and their handlers:</p> <ul class="simple"> <li>A handler for a particular signal, once set, remains installed until it is explicitly reset (Python emulates the BSD style interface regardless of the underlying implementation), with the exception of the handler for <code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SIGCHLD</span></code>, which follows the underlying implementation.</li> <li>There is no way to “block” signals temporarily from critical sections (since this is not supported by all Unix flavors).</li> <li>Although Python signal handlers are called asynchronously as far as the Python user is concerned, they can only occur between the “atomic” instructions of the Python interpreter. This means that signals arriving during long calculations implemented purely in C (such as regular expression matches on large bodies of text) may be delayed for an arbitrary amount of time.</li> <li>When a signal arrives during an I/O operation, it is possible that the I/O operation raises an exception after the signal handler returns. This is dependent on the underlying Unix system’s semantics regarding interrupted system calls.</li> <li>Because the C signal handler always returns, it makes little sense to catch synchronous errors like <code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SIGFPE</span></code> or <code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SIGSEGV</span></code>.</li> <li>Python installs a small number of signal handlers by default: <code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SIGPIPE</span></code> is ignored (so write errors on pipes and sockets can be reported as ordinary Python exceptions) and <code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">SIGINT</span></code> is translated into a <a class="reference internal" href="exceptions.html#exceptions.KeyboardInterrupt" title="exceptions.KeyboardInterrupt"><code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">KeyboardInterrupt</span></code></a> exception. All of these can be overridden.</li> <li>Some care must be taken if both signals and threads are used in the same program. The fundamental thing to remember in using signals and threads simultaneously is: always perform <a class="reference internal" href="#module-signal" title="signal: Set handlers for asynchronous events."><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">signal()</span></code></a> operations in the main thread of execution.
