Attached is a patch against the readline module that hooks the readline event hook to call the PyErr_CheckSignals(). This way, Python signal handlers get run even if you are sitting at a readline prompt (where they didn't before). this solves a long-standing annoyance for me. whew.

Logged In: YES user_id=6380 Sorry, I don't think this is correct. The code ignores errors from PyErr_CheckSignals(). What will happen to an exception raised by the handler call?

kdart - do you have any response to Guido's question?

In Python 2.6 the readline module does check for signals.
