Override default signal handler in interactive shell

Hello everybody,

I have written a python script which executes some functions and then
returns to the python interactive shell prompt (In other words I use
the command
"#!/usr/bin/python -i " in the script's header.
In this script I register my own handler for the SIGINT and SIGTERM
handlers but when I press Control-C the default handler is invoked and
the message "KeyboardInterr upt" is displayed. If I don't allow the
script to return control to the interactive shell, by putting for
example an endless loop, then my handler works fine. Does anyone know,
how I can make it work in the first case also? Thank you very much.

Best Regards

Panos

In some code we're writing we're making an assumption, and I'd like to confirm that the assumption is valid. Suppose a signal arrives while a file is being written, and the signal handler explicitly raises a SystemExit exception. My understanding is that the C-level I/O code will continue and the signal won't be processed until the end of the atomic python interpreter instruction that invoked that C code.

I have dilligently reviewed FAQ-lite Section 3.2, "How do I pass a pointer-to-member-function to a signal handler, X event callback, system call that starts a thread/task, etc." The only suggestion on how to deliver a signal to an object is to do it via a global variable and a wrapper function, a technique that is generally a Bad Idea (due to the usage of a global variable). I understand that this ng is dedicated to the discussion of...

Hi ! currently reading C docs, I think I'm reading docs about the stdc lib, but I'm not shure.. it talks about signals, does *all* OS implement the signal function, and use it well ? I mean.. I know Unixes do it, but what about windows ? does it implements all SIG* signal promptly ? Thanks ! -Eric Boutin

Hi everyone, I'd like to know when and how signals are used (e.g. SIGFPE, SIGABRT, SIGTERM, SIGSEGV, SIGINT)? Thank you so much.

Hi I use the following syntax to have events inherited from base to child classes which works nicely (virtual and override keyword on events). But I am wondering if it is a "supported" way of using events since I never saw it used anywhere in MSDN documentation/samples?! Or it will just break when I upgrade to .NET Framework 2.x in the coming years namespace MyNamespac public delegate void MyDel() public class MyBase public virtual...

Hi, first post here. First off, this IS a homework assignment for an operating systems class, but the question isn't "how do i do the assignment" but "why is my particular implementation not working". I've searched the forums here, but could not find anything particular to my problem, Googling and the linux manual pages haven't been much help either. What the program is supposed to do is create a very simple shell (that sits atop the...

I'm developing a program that runs using an asyncore loop. Right now I can adequately terminate it using Control-C, but as things get refined I need a better way to stop it. I've developed another program that executes it as a child process using popen2.Popen4(). I was attempting to use signals to stop it (using os.kill()) but I keep running into a problem where sending the signal causes an infinite loop of printing the message...

Hi everyone, After having used Python on Linux for some time, I now have to do Python coding on Windows. I am big fan of the interactive Python shell to test, eg, regexps. Is there an interactive Python shell on Windows that supports: - easy copy-pasting to/from an editor? (as opposed to the cumbersome "mark", "copy" and then "paste" sequence that any terminal on Windows

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
