signal module?

[Daniel Nielsen]

Hi. 

I'm currently working on some code that uses the signal module... But
I doesnt seem to work proberly.

I'm using threads, so I'd like ctrl-c to actually terminate the
program. If my memory serves me, ctrl-c is SIGINT, so in my code, in
the main thread, I write:

signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, gp.handler);

where gp is a module and handler looks like:

def handler(signum, frame):
    print "Handling signal: " + signum;
    sys.exit(2);

But ctrl-c doesnt do anything!

If I write:
signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal.SIG_DFL);
instead, ctrl-c actually terminates the program...
Have I misunderstood something?
