Attempting to clarify what Greg & I think the right answer will be for the async context management case: https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloop.html#unix-signals In practice, that would look something like: ``` >>> loop = asyncio.get_event_loop() >>> def sigint_handler(): ... raise KeyboardInterrupt ... >>> loop.add_signal_handler(signal.SIGINT, sigint_handler) >>> loop.run_forever() Traceback (most recent call last): ... KeyboardInterrupt ``` That way, dealing gracefully with KeyboardInterrupt is wholly under the event loop's control, rather than the event loop having to fight with the eval loop as to how Ctrl-C should be handled.
