How to kill a while loop with a keystroke?

by

The easiest way is to just interrupt it with the usual Ctrl-C (SIGINT). 

try:
    while True:
        do_something()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pass

Since Ctrl-C causes KeyboardInterrupt to be raised, just catch it outside the loop and ignore it.
