Python: signal.pause() equivalent on Windows
I use this:
#another:while not self.quit: # your code# maintry: # your codeexcept KeyboardInterrupt: another.quit = True time.sleep(5) # or wait for threading.enumerate() or similarIf I want it more robust, say, exit in presence of bugs too:
except KeyboardInterrupt: another.quit = True signal.alarm(5) time.sleep(6)A side effect to this is that every block where you except: or except Exception, e: (which is not something you should do anyway/much) you have to prepend except KeyboardInterrupt: raise so that the exception is not "eaten".
I use this for catching a ctrl-c on windows. In case I'm writing to a pipe or file or what have you.. I want to exit gracefully. Below is a toy example
import signalimport sysdef signal_handler(signal, frame): print('Process Interrupted!\n\a') sys.exit(0)signal.signal(signal.SIGINT,signal_handler)#Rest of your code
