The issue is that sometimes, if you press ctrl-c on Windows, instead

of this, any program that relies on ctrl-c/KeyboardInterrupt is not
guaranteed to work on windows. Also, working with the interactive
interpreter becomes really annoying for those with the habit of
deleting the whole input line via ctrl-c.
Idle Shell, 3.3.0a4, Win 7does not seem to have this problem. Still up
after 6000 ^Cs. It is better anyway, in multiple ways, than Command
Prompt. (That does not help batch-mode programs, though.)
That aside, perhaps the way it handles ^C might help.
I did get the CP to close four times, each time after a few hundred to
maybe a thousand ^Cs. It seems to require more than just one held down
key press. I suspect the closures happened after the limited line buffer
was filled and it was starting to delete the earliest lines.
