[Pyobjc-dev] PyObjC 2.2 and MachSignals

[Jonathan S. <jon...@ga...>]

Hi All,
my first post here. ;-)

I'm trying to use the twisted networking library integrating some
QTKit functionalities into the application.

I run my console script interleaving twisted's reactor with
AppHelper.callLater and all works fine, except for the shutdown after
a SIGINT.

After digging into the code I found that the installInterrupt=True
parameter of AppHelper.runConsoleEventLoop() imports from
PyObjCTools/MachSignals.py which uses the _machsignals module.

I tried a search in google and finally found a reference to a
machsignals.m file which creates a _machsignal python module in PyObjC
version 1.3.

Searching the 2.2 codebase I found a reference to this file in
pyobjc/pyobjc-core/MANIFEST (line 771):
Modules/CoreFoundation/machsignals.m but the file (and the folder)
does not exists.

Is this incoherence a bug or is there another way to trigger the
SIGINT handling code from python while not running python code?

Thanks for the help, greets

P.S. Hitting C-c on the command line produces the following error:

^C2009-11-30 01:14:38.203 python[82197:10b] *** NSRunLoop ignoring
exception '<type 'exceptions.KeyboardInterrupt'>: ' that raised during
posting of delayed perform with target 0x3181cb0 and selector
