Giampaolo Rodola' added the comment:

I may be missing something here but isn't the whole point of EINTR to interrupt 
a potentially long running syscall?
Why protract function return time as a consequence?
All the event loops I'm familiar with (twisted, tornado and asyncore) just 
'return' on EINTR, supposedly because that was the best compromise to support 
syscall interruption without forcing users to handle EINTR themselves.
