While using python\'s cmd.Cmd to create a custom CLI, how do I tell the handler to abort the current line and give me a new prompt?

Here is a minimal example:

Answer 1

I wanted to do the same, so I searched for it and created basic script for understanding purposes, my code can be found on my GitHub

So, In your code,

instead of this

if __name__ == '__main__':
    console = Console()
    console.cmdloop()

Use this,

if __name__ == '__main__':
    console = Console()
    try: 
       console.cmdloop()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
       print ("print sth. ")
       raise SystemExit

Hope this will help you out. well, it worked for me.
