Python signal handling

[Dave Swegen]

I've recently been bitten by a nasty (undocumented) feature in Perl,
where installing a signal handler to catch SIGCHLD will eventually cause
a core dump. So before I venture into any daemon handling in python I
was wondering if Python too suffers from problems with signal handling?

I believe the reason for perl's problem is that it isn't re-entrant, and
thus two rapidly incoming signals will cause perl to fo *Pooof*.

Any info will be much appreciated.

Cheers
