| Ctrl-D shortcut works to terminate session in Python 2 on Windows, and doesn't work with Python 3. |

| It never worked for me. Are you using a custom shell or cygwin or something? |

| It doesn't work on Python 2.x either as delivered. Usually means you have an external readline module installed. |

| Well, it appears that installed IPython brought pyreadline, but I execute it in standard Python shell. I'd vote for this feature by default. Is that possible without readline? |

| The Windows (and before it MS-DOS) EOF character is Ctrl-Z. Try that. Depending on the toolset you use, it might use Ctrl-D as EOF. Cygwin's python uses Ctrl-D. |

| It would be nice if Python supported some cross-platform standard for user interfaces. It is rather annoying to use Ctrl-Z for Python in local window and Ctrl-D for Python in remote console session (which is *nix of course). It becomes even more annoying, because Ctrl-Z in *nix session sends Python process to background. |

| It's trying to be consistent on whatever platform it's on. I'd rather python.exe match all other text-based .exe's on Windows. We can't have it both ways. But I agree it's a hassle. Cross-platform is a problem that Cygwin is trying to solve, so I suggest you use it. I usually use the Cygwin python for this reason. |

| I'm unable to find the previous issue, but you asked for this in the past. Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-D simply have different meanings on the different platforms, outside of what Python does. We already can't make Ctrl-Z on Windows do what it does on Linux, and Ctrl-D is not natural to Windows users. |

| I'm at best +0.25, but I don't have a problem with Ctrl-D exiting on Windows, as it doesn't do anything else! The thing is, though, that this is all handled within myreadline.c:my_fgets which is a call into the system fgets which errors out with Ctrl-Z but returns Ctrl-D. Which means that the two would behave differently even if we special-cased Ctrl-D. (Sorry: was that explanation a bit involved?) |

I concur. It would be a mistake to violate the O/S standards and norms. I recommend this issue be closed. |
