KeyboardInterrupt not caught

[ruka_at_@fastmail.fm]

Hi,
why is KeyboardInterru pt not caught (xp)?
import sys
try:
inp = sys.stdin.read( )
except (KeyboardInterr upt, SystemExit):
print "kbd-interr,SystemEx it"
except EOFError:
print "eof encountered"
except:
print "caught all"
self.showtraceb ack()
print "normal end"

result after script startet and ^C hit:

>ctrl_test.py

normal end
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\work\py_src \ctrl_test.py", line 11, in ?
print "normal end"
KeyboardInterru pt

Hi, are you sure this is exactly what you run?
The code above works perfectly for me and prints

kbd-interr,SystemEx it
normal end

as it should upon pressing Ctrl-C (although I'm on linux not xp but
that shouldn't matter at all).

I'm using XP and it works as expected too.

I don't think you ever get an EOFError from stdin. If you type ^D
immediately, stdin.read() returns an empty string.

except:
print "caught all"
self.showtraceb ack()

I don't imagine you'll get any other exceptions either.

Not that it matters, but what's self?

print "normal end"

It works as expected for me.

I seem to have a vague recollection that the keyboard interrupt under
Windows isn't ^C but something else... ^Z maybe?

Ctrl-C is the keyboard interrupt, Ctrl-Z means EOF.

Thanks to all of you, for the fast answers.
The code I showed you is actually the code running. I tried to catch
eof, cause I read ^C could produce EOF (the self.showtraceb ack() was
just a stupid cut 'n paste). But not even the except that should catch
all exceptions is triggered.
Thanks again,
