Asynchronous Event Handlers

I would like to find out how people have dealt with the problem of asynchronous
events (eg signals) within Python.

It seems to me that exception handling is similar, but it is subject to a
stack unwind. Thus installing an global exception handler as a global event
handler doesn't work since it unwinds the stack.
