Thanks for that hint. Indeed a extension I'm using in my script uses matlab, and matlab uses (I'm quite sure) fortran. But does that mean, if a fortran dll is loaded, a underlying software layer passes Ctrl+C to the fortran dll instead to python? (I can reproduce that in doing a ctrl+c while my script is currently at time.sleep(10) Thanks, Alexander -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
