REPL and plpython

[ethervoid]

Hi!

We're using iPython as REPL for PlPython functions in Postgres. We have a PlPython function that creates and starts an iPython kernel.

With the 3.x version of iPython worked fine. I've been migrating it to the new Jupyter versions due to the big split and We've found some problems with the signal handler, more concretely [here] (https://github.com/ipython/ipykernel/blob/master/ipykernel/kernelbase.py#L245).

PLPython returns None when you try to get the signal handler for SIGINT but could occur in regular python too because get_signal could return None if the signal was not installed from Python. Maybe a check for None for the self. saved_sigint_handler could be a good idea?

What do you think? I was going to send a patch but first I want to be sure is treated as a possible bug

It certainly sounds worth adding a check. I guess if it's a non-Python handler, we just have to reset it to some default.
