option to not override signal handler

ipykernel/kernelbase.py の pre_handler_hook から開始し、dispatch_shell がそれをどのように呼び出すかを追跡してください。埋め込みアプリケーションが自身の SIGINT ハンドラーの置き換えをオプトアウトする方法を確認し、その後、カスタムハンドラーが維持されたまま、通常のカーネルのシグナル処理も引き続き機能することを検証してください。

Hey there,

how can I embed qtconsole into an application without it overriding my own application's custom sigint handler?

Assume you have code that does

    std::signal(SIGINT, &handleSigInt);
    ...
    // do not initialize signal handlers
    const auto initsigs = 0;
    Py_InitializeEx(initsigs);

Then it is embedding qtconsole eventually, but at that point the sigint handler will be unset:

or in python terms:

(gdb) py-bt
Traceback (most recent call first):
  <built-in method signal of module object at remote 0x7fff51eeaa40>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/signal.py", line 47, in signal
    handler = _signal.signal(_enum_to_int(signalnum), _enum_to_int(handler))
  File "/home/milian/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ipykernel/kernelbase.py", line 280, in pre_handler_hook
    self.saved_sigint_handler = signal(SIGINT, default_int_handler)
  File "/home/milian/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/ipykernel/kernelbase.py", line 257, in dispatch_shell
    self.pre_handler_hook()

the kernelbase.py code seems to reset the signal handler unconditionally to some default which is highly unexpected to me:

    def pre_handler_hook(self):
        """Hook to execute before calling message handler"""
        # ensure default_int_handler during handler call
        self.saved_sigint_handler = signal(SIGINT, default_int_handler)

Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
