In practice that depends upon your environment. Unix/Linux, MacOS,
Windows, GUI vs. cmdline have all different ways to "read" from the
keyboard.

Ctrl-c OTOH, usually sends the interrupt signal to the process, and as
such can caught via the KeyboardInterrupt exception:

try:
    somework
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    ctrlc_caught
