• About processing of KeyboardInterrupt exception, INT signals and background processes. Capturing SIGINT using KeyboardInterrupt exception works in terminal, not in script , stack overflow.

    # invocation from interactive shell
    $ python -c "import signal; print(signal.getsignal(signal.SIGINT))"
    <built-in function default_int_handler>
  
    # background job in interactive shell
    $ python -c "import signal; print(signal.getsignal(signal.SIGINT))" &
    <built-in function default_int_handler>
  
    # invocation in non interactive shell
    $ sh -c 'python -c "import signal; print(signal.getsignal(signal.SIGINT))"'
    <built-in function default_int_handler>
  
    # background job in non-interactive shell
    $ sh -c 'python -c "import signal; print(signal.getsignal(signal.SIGINT))" &'
