I have used pdb for several years and have always wanted a gdb-like Ctrl-C handling: in gdb pressing Ctrl-C interrupts the program but the execution can be resumed later by the user (while pdb will terminate the program and throw you into postmortem debugging with no ability to resume the execution). So I implemented this functionality as
http://bugs.python.org/issue7245. The patch is very simple: install a SIGINT handler and when SIGINT arrives, set the tracing. The signal handler is only activated when pdb is run as a script. I cann't think of any disadvantages. If this functionality is indeed useful and I am not missing some serious side effects, would it be possible to review the patch?
