[issue1677] Ctrl-C will exit out of Python interpreter in Windows

[Amaury Forgeot d'Arc]

Amaury Forgeot d'Arc added the comment:

I get the same behaviour with python 2.5.1, and even 2.4.4 (on Windows
2000): I hold down Ctrl-C, and after ~30 "KeyboardInterrupt", the
interpreter stops.

So this is not 3.0 specific. What is new in python3.0 is that file
objects are implemented in python, and are much slower.
It is possible that when the key buffer is full, the next Ctrl-C kills
the program. And this is more likely to happen with python3.0.
