Terry J. Reedy added the comment:
Scratch my confusion. I added "print('after')" immediately after
_thread.interrupt_main() in idlelib.run.Executor.interrupt_the_server() and
'after' is printed in Shell right after I hit ^C but a time.sleep(10) is not
immediately interrupted and 'KeyboardInterrupt' does not show for nearly 10
seconds. I don't know if this is a bug or unavoidable limitation not mentioned
in the _thread doc. I might be system dependent.
