I am trying to implement SIGALRM in python, but when I run the code, I get an error:

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SIGALRM'

When I check the autocomplete options, the attributes of signal all populate the list (except for SIGALRM), so signal.py is obviously getting read at some level...

Is there a fix for this?

Per [this question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8420422/python-windows-equivalent-of-sigalrm), Windows does not support `signal.SIGALRM`. The accepted answer there provides something that might work; I haven't tested it. – hBy2Py Jan 22 '18 at 15:36
