Question

How can I stop a python process in such a way that any active context managers will gracefully call their __exit__ function before closing?

I use context managers (__ent

I found a workaround on the PyCharm bug tracker:

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-17252

• In PyCharm go to help->Edit Custom Properties
• Agree to create the idea.properties file (if it asks)
• Add the following line: kill.windows.processes.softly=true

• If you use Numpy or Scipy, you will also need to add the following environment variable:

  os.environ['FOR_DISABLE_CONSOLE_CTRL_HANDLER'] = "1"

• Restart Pycharm

Now when I run my test with this applied (on Windows!) I get the following output:

Init called.
enter called
Exit called
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/.../.PyCharmCE2017.1/config/scratches/scratch_3.py", line 20, in <module>
    time.sleep(100)
KeyboardInterrupt

Process finished with exit code 1
