[BangPypers] "continue" in "try..except"

[Nikunj.Badjatya at emc.com]

Hey Philippe,
Thanks exactly what I wanted.
My main() is calling other scripts written in powershell(.PS1) using subprocess.call().
Will this mechanism work in that case also ? I mean will this resume the execution from the same place where it left off as desired ?

Resuming the execution in an except clause seems unclean and unlikely. What about the context? Where in the stack to resume? This would lead to more problems than anything else.

Here i think we are basically not dealing with exceptions but signals, and this might work as expected:

import signal
def signal_handler(signal_number, frame):
    ret = raw_input('Really abort? (y/n) ')
    if ret == 'y':
        print('Committing Hara Kiri')
        sys.exit(0)

## Install the signal handler:
signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal_handler)
