Issue #7978 (http://bugs.python.org/issue7978) describes a bug in SocketServer where a received signal in SocketServer's select() call will raise an uncaught exception due to EINTR. The proposed solution was to wrap SocketServer's select() with something like twisted's untilConcludes function, which catches EINTR exceptions and re-calls the call (see issue for code).

However, before committing this to SocketServer, neologix raised the (valid) concern that this is generally-useful code, already duplicated at least in subprocess (eintrretrycall, subprocess.py), which can probably be moved to another module and be shared from there. (...)

+1 to share EINTR-related code, but I don't know the best place for such functions. Maybe the os module?
