Message 58933 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

When running Python 2.5.1 stable in Windows, you can press Ctrl-C as many times as you want and it will always output Keyboard Interrupt in the interpreter. Python 3.0a+ will quit if you press ctrl-c too many times. The last release of 3.0a2 can handle many interrupts before quitting, but the latest snapshot (Dec 20th) can not.

Steps to reproduce: Run python.exe hold down ctrl-c, or press it many times. It will quit the interpreter eventually.
