[Python-Dev] Interrupt thread.join() with Ctrl-C / KeyboardInterrupt on Windows

[Jonathan Slenders]

Hi all,

Is it possible that thread.join() cannot be interrupted on Windows, while
it can be on Linux?
Would this be a bug, or is it by design?


import threading, time
def wait():
    time.sleep(1000)
t = threading.Thread(target=wait)
t.start()
t.join()  # Press Control-C now. It stops on Linux, while it hangs on
Windows.

Tested on Python 3.6.

Thanks,
Jonathan
