[New-bugs-announce] [issue1151] "TypeError: expected string, bytes found" instead of KeyboardInterrupt

[Eduardo Padoan]

New submission from Eduardo Padoan:

On revision 54803, interactive mode, on linux: if type ctrl+c you type
ctrl+c, it should raise KeyboardInterrupt, but "TypeError: expected
string, bytes found" printed. Also, I could *not* catch it doing:

>>> try:
...     while True: pass
... except KeyboardInterrupt:
...     print('Ok')
... except TypeError:
...     print('Ops')
Ok

To reproduce:
>>> # press ctrl+c...
TypeError: expected string, bytes found
>>> 

It seems that it is simply printing the wrong error...
