STINNER Victor added the comment: I implemented signal.pthread_kill(), so it's now possible to test pending signals in test_signal, even if _tkinter is loaded. I don't think that we need the _finalize() hack anymore. -- resolution: -> wont fix status: open -> closed

New submission from STINNER Victor : I'm working on signals, especially on pthread_sigmask(), and I'm trying to understand test_signal failures. test_signal fails if the _tkinter module is loaded, because _tkinter loads the Tcl library which create a thread waiting events in select(). For exam
