I'm unable to reproduce the "uninterruptible with Ctrl-C" problem with infinite iterators. At least itertools doesn't seem to have it:

That's interrupting the for loop, not the iterator. This is the test case you want for the problem Jason raised:

>>> "a" in itertools.count()

Be prepared to suspend and terminate the affected process, because Ctrl-C isn't going to help :)

Cheers,
