I'm really sorry guys, I forgot to mention that the platform is win32, where there is minimal support to signals. Anyway I've found a solution with win32api.SetConsoleCtrlHandler that installs a event handler which traps all windows events, CTRL_CLOSE_EVENT, CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT, and CTRL_SHUTDOWN_EVENT included.
