* Allow the application to react to signals immediately in the main flow. You don't want to be writing your code in Python then. In Python you never get to react immediately to signals. The interpreter sets a flag and calls the python signal handler later. Yes, the call is ASAP, but ASAP is not "immediately".
You don't have to get that philosophical.
"Immediately" means, "without delay", "without further I/O".
