Python is not very good at signal handlers.. try not to use them, 
especially not in the IDE.  They're just asking for trouble because 
signal handlers cause a condition that the interpreter isn't very 
capable of coping with.  I would suggest attempting to do this in 
another way (i.e. using network sockets to ask your program to open a 
new file or quit).
