"""Send signal from sender to all connected receivers catching errors
signal -- (hashable) signal value, see connect for details
sender -- the sender of the signal
if Any, only receivers registered for Any will receive
the message.
if Anonymous, only receivers registered to receive
messages from Anonymous or Any will receive the message
Otherwise can be any python object (normally one
registered with a connect if you actually want
something to occur).
arguments -- positional arguments which will be passed to
*all* receivers. Note that this may raise TypeErrors
if the receivers do not allow the particular arguments.
Note also that arguments are applied before named
arguments, so they should be used with care.
named -- named arguments which will be filtered according
to the parameters of the receivers to only provide those
acceptable to the receiver.
Return a list of tuple pairs [(receiver, response), ... ]
if any receiver raises an error (specifically any subclass of Exception),
the error instance is returned as the result for that receiver.
