My python script intercepts the SIGINT signal with the signal process module to prevent premature exit, but this signal is passed to a subprocess that I open with Popen. is there some way to prevent passing this signal to the subprocess so that it also is not exited prematurely when the user presses ctrl-c?

For python 2 codebase: subprocess is broken.

The right thing is

import subprocess32 as subprocess

See subprocess32

This is a backport of the Python 3 subprocess module for use on Python 2. This code has not been tested on Windows or other non-POSIX platforms.
