Actually it sounds like there's some overly general except clause somewhere that should be adjusted to catch just "Exception" instead of "*".

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 Michael -- http://www.ironpythoninaction.com/ http://www.voidspace.org.uk/blog READ CAREFULLY.
