Catching a non-Exception object (KeyboardInterrupt)

[Michael Goerz]

Hi,

when I try to catch ctrl+c with

except KeyboardInterru pt:

pychecker tells me

Catching a non-Exception object (KeyboardInterr upt)

It works fine, but the message indicates that it's not completely clean.
How should I write the exception correctly?

Thanks,
Michael

Looks like a pychecker bug. It might be confused by KeyboardInterru pt
being derived not from Exception, but from BaseException.

There's a patch for this see:

https://thomas.apestaart.org/thomas/trac/changeset/938?format=diff&new=938

but it looks like pychecker isn't being maintained because nothing has
changed for more than 2 years.
