[New-bugs-announce] [issue17209] get_wch() doesn't handle KeyboardInterrupt

[raymontag]

New submission from raymontag:

If I've initialized a window in curses, try to get a single character with get_wch() and press Ctrl+C, the program crashes even if I handle KeyboardInterrupt. Here's a code example.

import curses

scr = curses.initscr()
try:
    char = scr.get_wch()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pass

With getch() instead of get_wch() it works though.
