What do you mean? Ctrl-C interrupts time.sleep() okay in my Python (on MacOSX).

it doesn't work on Windows XP.
It is, indeed, Windows. (I didn't realise the *nix based OS's didn't have this problem - an artifact of mostly using Python on Windows, despite the fact that I do my development *of* Python on Linux).
But looking at timemodule.c, there's lots of code that says it's there for "Ctrl+C" events/interruptions on Windows. Did that work at any time?
Works for me: C:\Python25>python.exe Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Dec 23 2008, 15:10:54) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
from time import sleep try: sleep(10) ... except KeyboardInterrupt: print 'QuQu' ... [Hit Ctrl+C] QuQu
