This is a known issue, and on the upstream todo list. Note that Python threads 
and signals do not play along: you cannot interrupt a threaded Python program 
with SIGINT. See also the bug report[1] about that (the bug is closed 
as "wont fix").

There are workarounds[2] around this limitation, but they have to be 
implemented, and upstream (aka me :) has currently no time to do that.
Perhaps you care enough to send a patch?
