Ok yes, so ctrl-C is sending SIGINT which interrupts the system call and is then caught as a Python exception, so this is very similar to the SIGALRM idea you already suggested, in that it doesn't work with threads, except it also relies on there being a person there to press ctrl-C. So we still don't have any workable solution to the problem. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
