DiskIO appears to not be interruptable. For example: >>> open('bighugefile.sql').read()
Pressing Ctrl-C (on Linux with python 2.6.4) will not interrupt the command. I believe that it used to in previous versions of python but I may be mistaken. Is it supposed to be that way? The behavior is annoying and in other environments ctrl-c interrupts disk io. -- mvh Björn -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
