How can I override the keyboard interrupt? (Python)
Question:
Is there anyway I can make my script execute one of my functions when Ctrl+c
is hit when the script is running?
Answers:
Take a look at signal handlers. CTRL-C corresponds to SIGINT (signal #2 on posix systems).
Example:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import signal
import sys
def signal_handler(signal, frame):
print("You pressed Ctrl+C - or killed me with -2")
sys.exit(0)
signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal_handler)
print("Press Ctrl+C")
signal.pause()
Use the KeyboardInterrupt exception and call your function in the except
block.
Sure.
try:
# Your normal block of code
except KeyboardInterrupt:
# Your code which is executed when CTRL+C is pressed.
finally:
# Your code which is always executed.
