Am I right that this could this be accomplished simply by throwing away 
all the interrupt handling stuff in the code and checking for 
PyOS_InterruptOccurred() in the place where you check for the global 
variable that your signal handler uses?  Your signal handler does 
essentially what Python's signal handler already does, if I'm not mistaken.
