what I wanted to point out but forgot to is that it should be perfectly
possible to add a Simulator::SetMonitoringCallback (Callback<void> cb);
which is called regularly by the simulation code and you could call
PyErr_CheckSignals from that callback. [other variants on this theme are easy
to code]

The key here is that it allows the simulator code much more leeway in doing
what it needs to do.
