"""
Substitute for the signal module when using a CFRunLoop.
This module is generally only used to support:
PyObjCTools.AppHelper.installMachInterrupt()
A mach port is opened and registered to the CFRunLoop.
When a signal occurs the signal number is sent in a mach
message to the CFRunLoop. The handler then causes Python
code to get executed.
In other words, Python's signal handling code does not wake
reliably when not running Python code, but this does.
