copied!<p>Pressing stop in Eclipse outright kills the interpreter (though it actually fails fairly often). Like using <code>kill</code>/<code>taskkill</code>, the process is unaware of it's demise.</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control-C" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ctrl+C</a> snippet from Wikipedia...</p> <blockquote> <p>Control-C as an abort command was popularized by UNIX and adopted in other systems. In POSIX systems, the sequence causes the active program to receive a SIGINT signal. If the program does not specify how to handle this condition, it is terminated. Typically a program which does handle a SIGINT will still terminate itself, or at least terminate the task running inside it.</p> </blockquote> <p><code>Ctrl+C</code> is a control signal to interrupt the program, but as you may have noticed in the middle of that paragraph, programs can specify how to handle the signal. In Python, Ctrl+C <a href="http://effbot.org/zone/stupid-exceptions-keyboardinterrupt.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">throws a KeyboardInterrupt exception</a> which is normally caught and then Python exits cleanly. Even if you're killing the interpreter with <code>Ctrl+C</code> it may handle it so that it cleans the environment before exiting.</p> <p>I included the following because you asked "Is there a way around it?"</p> <p>If you are wanting to stop on <code>raw_input(...)</code> calls, you could use <code>Ctrl+Z</code> to send EOF. I looked around, and there seems to be no way to send <code>Ctrl+C</code>/<code>0x03</code> in Eclipse, unfortunately.</p>
