Signal blocking under Linux & OS X

Project description

Provides access to sigprocmask(2) and friends and convenience wrappers to python application developers wanting to SIG_BLOCK and SIG_UNBLOCK signals in critical sections of their code.

Most common usage

from signal import SIGINT, SIGTERM
from pysigset import suspended_signals

with suspended_signals(SIGINT, SIGTERM):
    # Signals are blocked here..
    pass
# Any pending signal is fired now..

Also available

sigaddset(*args)
    int sigaddset(sigset_t *set, int signum)

sigdelset(*args)

    int sigemptyset(sigset_t *set)

sigfillset(*args)
    int sigfillset(sigset_t *set)

sigismember(*args)
    int sigismember(const sigset_t *set, int signum)

sigpending(*args)
    int sigpending(sigset_t *set)

python-signalfd provides access to sigprocmask and signalfd. Its advantage is access to signalfd. Its disadvantage is a compilation requirement.

pysigset has a pythonic interface and requires only ctypes access to libc.so.6 or libSystem.B.dylib.
