Question

I write alot of small apps where I use

try:
   print "always does this until I Ctrl+C"


Except KeyboardInterrupt:
   print "finish program"

I’ve just began to move away from using IDLE and booted up PyScripter. However CTRL+C no longer works. Is it possible to still send in a KeyboardInterrupt while using the built-in interpreter?

Answer 1

In PyScripter if you just want to terminate a running program you can always re-initialize the remote engine:

• Application Run Menu > Python Engine > Reinitialize Python Engine or
• Interpreter context menu > Python Engine > Reinitialize Python Engine or
• Keyboard shortcut CTRL-F2
