Description: pysigset, signal blocking under GNU/Linux & OS X
        ================================================
        
        Provides access to sigprocmask(2) and friends and convenience wrappers
        to python application developers wanting to SIG_BLOCK and SIG_UNBLOCK
        signals in critical sections of their code.
        
        Most common usage
        -----------------
        
        ::
        
            from signal import SIGINT, SIGTERM
            from pysigset import suspended_signals
        
            with suspended_signals(SIGINT, SIGTERM):
                # Signals are blocked here..
                pass
            # Any pending signal is fired now..
        
        Also available
        --------------
        
        ::
        
            sigaddset(*args)
                int sigaddset(sigset_t *set, int signum)
        
            sigdelset(*args)
                int sigdelset(sigset_t *set, int signum)
        
            sigemptyset(*args)
                int sigemptyset(sigset_t *set)
        
            sigfillset(*args)
                int sigfillset(sigset_t *set)
        
            sigismember(*args)
                int sigismember(const sigset_t *set, int signum)
        
            sigpending(*args)
                int sigpending(sigset_t *set)
        
            sigprocmask(*args)
                int sigprocmask(int how, const sigset_t *set, sigset_t *oldset)
        
            sigsuspend(*args)
                int sigsuspend(const sigset_t *mask)
        
        Similar tools
        -------------
        
        `python-signalfd <https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-signalfd>`__
        provides access to ``sigprocmask`` and ``signalfd``. Its advantage is
        access to ``signalfd``. Its disadvantage is a compilation requirement.
        
        pysigset has a pythonic interface and requires only ``ctypes`` access to
        ``libc.so.6`` or ``libSystem.B.dylib``.
