Capture Control-C in Python

Question

I want to know if it\'s possible to catch a Control-C in python in the following manner:

 if input != contr-c:
    #DO THINGS
 else:
    #quit

Answer 1

From your comments, it sounds like your only problem with except KeyboardInterrupt: is that you don't know how to make it exit when you get that interrupt.

If so, that's simple:

import sys

try:
    user_input = input()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    sys.exit(0)
