https://bugs.python.org/issue29926 was opened as an IDLE issue, which means that most watching the new issues list would ignore it. But I think it is an issue with _thread.interrupt_main (which IDLE calls in respond to ^C) not interrupting time.sleep(n) in main thread*. I tested on Windows, don't know yet about OP. Since there is no Expert's Index listing for _thread (or threading), I am asking here for someone who knows anything to take a look.
time.sleep(10) <hit ^C immediately> <debug print after interrupt_main() shows immediately> <... remainder of 10 seconds pass> KeyboardInterrupt
I don't know if this is a bug or inherent limitation.
