Question

Is there a way to keep tracebacks from coming up when you hit Ctrl+c,
i.e. raise KeyboardInterrupt in a Python script?

Answer 1

import sys
try:
    # your code
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    sys.exit(0) # or 1, or whatever

Is the simplest way, assuming you still want to exit when you get a Ctrl+c.

If you want to trap it without a try/except, you can use a recipe like this using the signal module, except it doesn’t seem to work for me on Windows..
