Can't Stop Process On Windows

[Dan]

I have a python script running under Windows XP that I need to
terminate from the keyboard. A control-c works fine under Linux, but
not under Windows. I'm pretty sure that the culprit is 'select' that
I'm using to multiplex socket i/o, which seems to be blocking the
keyboard interrupt. Is there some way around this?

Are you calling select with a long timeout? An alternative would be to call
select with a much shorter timeout, but call it multiple times from a loop.

That seems to have fixed the problem. Changed it from no timeout to
one second.

Thanks
