In the trace you just posted, I see "caught signint in parent" (at the
beginning), so the exception was indeed caught.

Well, it does implement a SIGINT handler, and that handler raises
KeyboardInterrupt. QED. You can override that behaviour and register
your own handler using the standard "signal" module.
