It spawns a shell script for no apparent reason.  It doesn't 
use unit test.  It's generally horrible (though slightly less so 
than a few minutes ago).

In Python 2.6, test_signal.py uses unittest.  It still spawns a shell
script, but I don't understand why this is a problem; is it a
portability issue?

I'm going to close this. As Andrew said it now uses unittest and
subprocess which is portable. Reopen if you disagree.
