New submission from Merlijn van Deen <valhall...@gmail.com>: In python 2.5, entering ^C in a getpass prompt yields a KeyboardInterrupt. In later versions, nothing happens, and '\x03' is returned after pressing return. In python 2.5, entering ^Z in a getpass prompt suspends the process. In later versions, nothing happens, and '\x1a' is returned after pressing return.
Pressing ctrl-C or ctrl-Z multiple times returns '\x03'/'\x1a' multiple times.
