Why can't I handle a KeyboardInterrupt in python?
I was playing around with some Python code and created an infinite loop:
y = 0 x = -4 itersLeft = x while(itersLeft<0): y = y + x itersLeft = itersLeft - 1 print "y = ",y, "itersLeft = ", itersLeft print y
Is there a keyboard shortcut that would allow me to stop the looping - allowing me to fix the loop and then restart it?
I've tried Ctrl+C and didn't have any luck. If it helps I'm using a Windows 7 environment.
Thanks.
EDIT
I should have also mentioned that I'm using Aptana Studio 3 and attempted to run the Ctrl+C command within that. It doesn't work there - but trying it within the regular console works fine. I'm assuming it must be because of the Aptana environment.
Ctrl+C is what you need. If it didn't work, hit it harder. :-) Of course, you can also just close the shell window.
Edit: You didn't mention the circumstances. As a last resort, you could write a batch file that contains taskkill /im python.exe
, and put it on your desktop, Start menu, etc. and run it when you need to kill a runaway script. Of course, it will kill all Python processes, so be careful.
