[issue12060] Python doesn't support real time signals

[Gregory P. Smith]

Gregory P. Smith <greg at krypto.org> added the comment:

if you used the pipe approach you'd need to deal with the case of the write blocking (or failing if nonblocking) when the pipe buffer is full.  also you'd need to block signals around a fork and reinitialize the pipe in the child before reenabling signals.

i think all of this is overkill.  as said, this isn't a real problem.
