I always say error handling is the beginning of all good coding!

No, I was doing Ctrl + Z and Return.

I looked around the call stack in MSVC and I think python's console 
control handler is immediately calling ExitProcess() which dooms any 
threads currently running. Shame as now I'll have to wrap the python 
interpreter in other code so cleanups can be invoked correctly.
