Hello, I'm now accepting PEP 475 - "Retry system calls failing with EINTR". You can read it at https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0475/ The implementation is more or less ready at http://bugs.python.org/issue23285, so you can expect it to land in the main repo relatively soon. Regards Antoine.

I may be chiming in a little late, however, I'd have a question: does this affect non-blocking applications somehow? How often should we expect to receive EINTR? Is it correct to state that in case many EINTR signals are sent repeatedly a non-blocking framework such as asyncio may hang for "too long"?
