Description:

to python application developers wanting to SIG_BLOCK and SIG_UNBLOCK
signals in critical sections of their code.

from pysigset import suspended_signals

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

Similar tools
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.
