You should let KeyboardInterrupt bubble all the way up and trap it at the highest level.

if __name__ == '__main__':
    try:
        main()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        sys.exit()
    except:
        pass

def main():
    try:
        stuff()
    except Exception as e:
        logging.exception("Normal handling")
        if _debug:
            raise e
