I have a signal handler which does its job, but the only ugly thing is whenever Ctrl+C is pressed, a “^C” shows up in the terminal. How do I get rid of that? Or is that a shell behavior?

If you are on a Unix platform, the easiest way to control the terminal is the
cursesmodule. You can turn the echoing of typed characters off withcurses.noecho(), turn it on again withcurses.echo(), or wrap a function call incurses.wrapper()to turn echoing off during the function call. The latter is the preferred approach — it will automatically restore the terminal state if an exception occurs.
