>From a quick experiment, it seems that select.select with a timeout doesn't react to a keyboard interrupt until the timeout expires. Specifically, if I do
s = socket.socket() select.select([s], [], [], 30) and then press Ctrl-C, Python waits for the 30 seconds before raising KeyboardInterrupt. Is this a known limitation on Windows? I see no mention of it in the documentation. Assuming it is a known limitation, is there a way round it? (I'm writing a tiny server using asyncore/asynchat, and the delayed response to Ctrl-C is a mild nuisance. Solutions such as "use twisted", while probably the sensible option in a wider context, don't really apply here - I need something within the confines of the stdlib if it's to be worth doing).
