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? [2] http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/496735 Kind regards, Bastian
