How do I capture SIGINT in Python?

Question

I\'m working on a python script that starts several processes and database connections. Every now and then I want to kill the script with a Ctrl+C sign

You can treat it like an exception (KeyboardInterrupt), like any other. Make a new file and run it from your shell with the following contents to see what I mean:

import time, sys

x = 1
while True:
    try:
        print x
        time.sleep(.3)
        x += 1
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print "Bye"
        sys.exit()
