Even if it would be possible to call the original signal handler, I think that it would be better to just disable this feature if a (better?) program also watchs for segfaults. We should provide different ways to enable and/or disable this feature: - command line option? (eg. see issue #10089) - environment variable? - add a function to the sys module (or another module) to enable or disable this feature? (eg. sys.getsegfaultenabled(), sys.setsegfaultenabled(False)) I don't think that a command line option and an environment variable is pratical for an OS distributor. With a sys function, the OS distributor can call it in the site module. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8863> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
