Resuming the execution in an except clause seems unclean and unlikely. What
about the context? Where in the stack to resume? This would lead to more
problems than anything else.
Here i think we are basically not dealing with exceptions but signals, and this
might work as expected:
import signal
def signal_handler(signal_number, frame):
ret = raw_input('Really abort? (y/n) ')
if ret == 'y':
print('Committing Hara Kiri')
sys.exit(0)
## Install the signal handler:
signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal_handler)
