ValueError: signal only works in main thread

Reason: I am trying to use this library in a GUI application that I am creating.

Solution: Probably wrap it around a try-catch?

I ended up doing try-catch and that seems to get rid of any error. Both of these fixes plus another one have been released under 0.36.1

Thanks @lessthanoptimal . But what I indicated was, the signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal_handler) itself does not work and crashes when not running in the main thread.

I was using this library in GUI application, which uses a separate UI thread to run things. UI threads cannot use the signal module, because of which we get the error: ValueError: signal only works in main thread

The solution for now would be to do the following:

try:
    signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal_handler)
except ValueError as e:
    print(e)
    print('Ignoring Ctrl+C signals')
