In the IPython console in spyder the Kernel interrupt doesn't seem to be
working. The following code will put you in an infinite, unbreakable loop:
In [1]: from time import sleep
In [2]: while True:
...: sleep(2)
...:
Clicking Ctrl-C has no effect, nor does using the "Interrupt Kernel" button
on the top -right of the IPython console pane.
By contrast in the QtConsole itself I observe the expected behaviour when
pressing Ctrl-C:
In [1]: from time import sleep
In [2]: while True:
...: sleep(2)
...:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
KeyboardInterrupt Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-2-4fdabcf7d3fc> in <module>()

KeyboardInterrupt:

Suspiciously, when I start an IPython console in the Kernel tab in the
Console pane I see the following message:
NOTE: When using the `ipython kernel` entry point, Ctrl-C will not work.
To exit, you will have to explicitly quit this process, by either sending
"quit" from a client, or using Ctrl-\ in UNIX-like environments.
To read more about this, see https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/2049
To connect another client to this kernel, use:
--existing kernel-11532.json
Since this works in the IPython QtConsole would it be possible to get it
working in Spyder as well?
As it is currently I'm doing a lot of IPython.parallel work where I need to
be able to interrupt a parallel calculation (a loop, waiting on
asynchronous results) and it's very annoying to lose my session if I want
to do so.
Thanks,
Dave
