Catching KeyboardInterrupt in Python during program shutdown

by

Checkout this thread, it has some useful information about exiting and tracebacks.

If you are more interested in just killing the program, try something like this (this will take the legs out from under the cleanup code as well):

if __name__ == '__main__':
    try:
        main()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print('Interrupted')
        try:
            sys.exit(0)
        except SystemExit:
            os._exit(0)
