#2 fakemail on windows with python

[Matt Heitzenroder]

Can someone explain to me how to run fakemail on
windows with python?

I have Python version 2.3.5

When I try to execute from the command line this is
what I receive:

C:\apache2triad\python\Scripts>python fakemail.py
--host=locahost --port=10025 -
-path=.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "fakemail.py", line 147, in ?
main()
File "fakemail.py", line 129, in main
handle_signals()
File "fakemail.py", line 78, in handle_signals
for sig in (signal.SIGINT, signal.SIGTERM,
signal.SIGHUP):
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SIGHUP'

C:\apache2triad\python\Scripts>

Please help.

Cheers,
Matt

I'm having this trouble too, with Python 2.5.1 under Windows XP.

Should I be abandoning Python altogether? Is this a configuration issue and silence means we're idiots?

Does the Perl flavor of this work in Windows?

Windows does not know the SIGHUP signal. I changed line 78 in fakemail.py
for sig in (signal.SIGINT, signal.SIGTERM, signal.SIGHUP):
to
for sig in (signal.SIGINT, signal.SIGTERM):
which seems to do the trick for me.

HTH,

Possible solution for Windows - up from line 73:

def handle_signals():

def signal_handler(signum, frame):
quit()

if os.name == 'posix':
signals = (signal.SIGINT, signal.SIGTERM, signal.SIGHUP)
## Above for Unix. Below for Windows
elif os.name == 'nt':
signals = (signal.SIGINT, signal.SIGTERM, signal.SIGABRT)

for sig in signals:
signal.signal(sig, signal_handler)

That is much cleaner than my first hack.
I created a patch using your code and added it to the tracker (2990794).

Would be great if someone could merge it.

Thanks in advance,
Wolfgang
