Signal question

[Ian Pellew]

Hi;

I am on WinXPPro and want to catch the keyboard interrupt signal.
Will Python 2.3.3 signal handler catch it?

Cannot find this in the Pyt docs,
Mind nor can I find `inc += 1` statement that I find a poor substitute for `i++`!!

Pointers/Advice Pls.

Regards
Ian

Hello Ian,

I am on WinXPPro and want to catch the keyboard interrupt signal.
Will Python 2.3.3 signal handler catch it?

from signal import SIGINT, signal
from time import sleep

def sigint_handler(signum, frame):
print "OUCH"

signal(SIGINT, sigint_handler)

while 1:
sleep(1)
print "BEEP"

Cannot find this in the Pyt docs,http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-signal.html

Mind nor can I find `inc += 1` statement that I find a poor substitute for `i++`!!

Python tries to keep the language as compact as possible. There is no
intension to make it look like C/C++. I don't find these 2 extra chars
annoying.

HTH.
