Capture Control-C in Python

Consider reading this page about handling exceptions.. It should help.

As @abarnert has said, do sys.exit() after except KeyboardInterrupt:.

Something like

try:
    # DO THINGS
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    # quit
    sys.exit()

You can also use the built in exit() function, but as @eryksun pointed out, sys.exit is more reliable.
