Yours, for trying to use Unix-only facilities on Windows :-)

The documentation page for the signal module is not very clear about 
this point, probably because there are plenty of exclusions on 
different platforms, and documenting them all explicitly would 
over-complicate the documentation.

There is a hint on the docs for the signal.alarm() function, which 
says "Availability: Unix". IIRC, the code signal.alarm(func) is just a 
wrapper around the code signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, func).

Perhaps the platform independent "Timer" object can give you what you 
need?
