Often, if I want to terminate the script prematurely, I press ctrl-c,

you may want to use subprocess instead of os.system.
On catching CTRL+C, you kill all the pid started with subprocess and
exit
the script smoothly.
Hmm. OK, this is what I suspected I needed. So no explicit signal
catching is required I guess.
Note that KeyboardInterrupt (the exception generated by pressing ^C) may
be catched (sometimes inadvertedly) if the code uses a bare 'except'
clause, and then the program continues normally, effectively ignoring ^C.
The most generic 'except' clause should be, normally:
try: ...
except Exception: ...
