[PyQt] How to handle unix signals in PyQt

[Bobby R. Ward]

I can't figure out how to handle unix signals in PyQt.

If I try to connect to the unixSignal signal of QCoreApplication,  nothing
happens.  I've noticed that the C++ examples call *watchUnixSignal*(signal_num,
true) but this isn't exposed in PyQt.

If I try to use python's standard signal handlers with PyQt I run into some
odd situations.  If I comment out the creation of the QCoreApplication the
signal is trapped and everything works.  If I  create the QCoreApplication,
it seems the signal is trapped and ignored by PyQt.

I am not even able to use SIGINT to stop the application and I'm forced to
use kill to quit the program.

How am I supposed to handle this?
