Why is KeyboardInterrupt not working in python?

Question

Why doesn\'t code like the following catch CTRL-C?

MAXVAL = 10000
STEP_INTERVAL = 10

for i in range(1, MAXVAL, STEP_INTERVAL):
    try:
        print str(i)         


        

Answer 1

Sounds like the program is done by the time control-c has been hit, but your operating system hasn't finished showing you all the output. .
