This is because dispatch/dispatcher.py tries to ensure that signal handlers accept **kwargs, using inspect.getargspec. Unfortunately, inspect.getargspec accepts only actual function objects, and not any callable. Thus, the check does more harm than good in cases where the signal handler is not an actual function. I suggest this check simply be removed. | nobody | Zal | signals functions | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
