I don't have python2 on my win10 PC and it works as expected on python 3. I suspect study of Eryk's post is your best bet. When it comes to the innards of Windows he is our local guru. On 1 Mar 2019 2:24 pm, Chip Wachob <wach...@gmail.com> wrote:
Alan, Thanks.** Once again, a case of not finding a tree in the forest...** One of these days I'll remember to KISS and try some SIMPLE experimentation... So I did your experiment with just the single line raw_input('>'), ran it, and used Ctrl-C to exit.** Traceback shown below.** C:\Temp_Python\Exception>python rawsimple.py >Traceback (most recent call last): ** File "rawsimple.py", line 1, in <module> ****** raw_input('>') C:\Temp_Python\Exception> Note that I ran the same code on a Linux machine and did get the name of the exception as you expected (KeyboardInterrupt).** And I was able to make a slightly longer script (again, as suggested) and got the desired results.. Open to suggestions on how to capture the exception who's name isn't displayed... I'm still attempting to get my head around Eryk's post and perhaps that explains why there's no exception listed.

Don't guess, test. Write a single line script raw_input('> ') Run it in a console. Hit Ctrl-C while it waits for input. See what the stack trace says is the exception Edit your script try: ** raw_input('> ') except <whatever e3xception you saw previously>: ** print "I got it that time!" run the new script. Did it work? Hooray! Transfer to the main script.
