    Python issue #21645, Tulip issue 192: Rewrite signal handling · fe5649c7
    Victor Stinner yazdı
    Since Python 3.3, the C signal handler writes the signal number into the wakeup
    file descriptor and then schedules the Python call using Py_AddPendingCall().
    
    asyncio uses the wakeup file descriptor to wake up the event loop, and relies
    on Py_AddPendingCall() to schedule the final callback with call_soon().
    
    If the C signal handler is called in a thread different than the thread of the
    event loop, the loop is awaken but Py_AddPendingCall() was not called yet. In
    this case, the event loop has nothing to do and go to sleep again.
    Py_AddPendingCall() is called while the event loop is sleeping again and so the
    final callback is not scheduled immediatly.
    
    This patch changes how asyncio handles signals. Instead of relying on
    Py_AddPendingCall() and the wakeup file descriptor, asyncio now only relies on
    the wakeup file descriptor. asyncio reads signal numbers from the wakeup file
    descriptor to call its signal handler.
