No, if you run Windows Python from Cygwin bash CTRL-Z works as the EOF character: ~$ /cygdrive/e/util/python24/python Python 2.4 (#60, Nov 30 2004, 11:49:19) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> quit 'Use Ctrl-Z plus Return to exit.' >>> ^Z ~$ jobs ~$ python Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Mar 13 2007, 08:13:14) [GCC 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)] on cygwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> quit Use quit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit >>> [1]+ Stopped python ~$ Apparently though the Cygwin version of Python now prints the correct message for quit.
