Ilya Sandler <ilya.sand...@gmail.com> added the comment: I confirm the bug. But I don't think disabling Ctrl-C (SIGINT) handling by default is a good idea. Proper Ctrl-C support seems like a fundamental feature for a command line debugger.
However, I think the bug is easily fixable w/o changing SIGINT handling. Basically, just put try/except around signal.signal, catch the ValueError and proceed. Would this approach solve your problem? Patch attached. PS. and here is a small program demonstrating the bug (just run it and execute "c" command at pdb prompt) import threading import pdb def start_pdb(): pdb.Pdb().set_trace() x = 1 y = 1 t = threading.Thread( target=start_pdb) t.start() ---------- keywords: +patch nosy: +isandler Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23791/thread_sigint.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13120> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
