from signal import SIGINT, signal
from time import sleep

def sigint_handler(signum, frame):
    print "OUCH"

signal(SIGINT, sigint_handler)

while 1:
    sleep(1)
    print "BEEP"

Python tries to keep the language as compact as possible. There is no
intension to make it look like C/C++. I don't find these 2 extra chars
annoying.

HTH.
