I don't think you ever get an EOFError from stdin. If you type ^D immediately, stdin.read() returns an empty string. > except: > print "caught all" > self.showtraceback() I don't imagine you'll get any other exceptions either.

I seem to have a vague recollection that the keyboard interrupt under Windows isn't ^C but something else... ^Z maybe? -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
