Hi,

I wrote patches for the issue #3137 and I would like your opinion about my solution (not directly about the patches): I propose to consider a SIGINT during startup as a fatal error. If you press CTRL+c while Python is starting, Python displays an error and exit with the code 1. That sounds like a good solution to me. +1
