Error with module signal in Python 2.7 (Win 64)

I have the following code:

import signal
    alive = 0    
    if alive > 0:                
        signal.setitimer(signal.ITIMER_REAL, 0.0005)
     else:
         signal.setitimer(signal.ITIMER_REAL, 0)

Error: 

signal.setitimer(signal.ITIMER_REAL, 0)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'setitimer'

Why is this error occurring?

signal.setitimer is only available in Unix. You can't use it in Windows.

signal.setitimer(which, seconds[, interval])

...

Availability: Unix.
