Not without significant effort. signal is used to reap child processes
and prevent zombies which is a natural consequence of pyssh being a
wrapper around the ssh binaries.

Google seems to indicate that Java, hence Jython, does not support
signals
(http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Mail/Message/Jython-users/687321),
although I can't get the answer to that post to load.

A quick Google for "jython twisted" seems to indicate that Twisted has
at least some support for Jython. Maybe you should give Twisted's conch
module a look. I'd be interested in what you find.
