interrupting pythonD with ^C

[John Savage]

I'm finding that many times when I inadvertently code an endless loop
in pythonD code, on MSDOS, execution cannot be interrupted by ctrl-C
and I am forced to reboot and this is rapidly loses its novelty.

Do users of pythonD have a coding technique, or a library file to include,
to endow a program with keyboard interrupt-ability?

Endless loops arise when I forget to increment a loop index, or code
incorrectly the end condition test, or indent wrongly, etc.

Well, you could try programming more carefully :-)

Alternatively, try CTRL/Break. That seems to interrupt even when a
program is waiting on a network socket, which CTRL/C doesn't seem to.

Note, however, that this terminates the process without raising
KeyboardInterru pt.
