inputhook: disable CTRL+C when a hook is active....
inputhook: disable CTRL+C when a hook is active. On systems with 'readline', it's very likely to intercept a signal during a select() call. The default SIGINT handler will schedule a KeyboardInterrupt exception to be raised as soon as possible. If ctypes is used to install a Python callback for PyOS_InputHook, this will happen as soon as the bytecode execution starts, so even if the first instruction of the callback is a `try: ... except KeyboardInterrupt` clause, it's actually too late. As ctypes doesn't allow a Python callback to raise an exception, this ends up with IPython detecting an internal error... not pretty. We must therefore ignore the SIGINT signals until we are sure the exception handler is active, in the Python callback.

Add explicit comment about disabled code in importstring....

# Note: the original code for this was the following. We've left it
# visible for now in case the new implementation shows any problems down
# the road, to make it easier on anyone looking for a problem. This code
# should be removed once we're comfortable we didn't break anything.
## execString = 'from %s import %s' % (package, obj)
## try:
## exec execString
## except SyntaxError:
## raise ImportError("Invalid class specification: %s" % name)
## exec 'temp = %s' % obj
## return temp
