[issue1167930] threading.Thread.join() cannot be interrupted by a Ctrl-C

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum added the comment:

This is because the regular acquire() method on a basic lock cannot be
interrupted.  That's unlikely to go away, so you'll just have to live
with this.  As you've discovered, specifying a timeout solves the issue
(sort of).
