<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 580718 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173351/">Vasudev Ram</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/ascii/">ascii</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/error/">error</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/exception/">exception</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/handler/">handler</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/shutdown/">shutdown</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/terminate/">terminate</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/utilities/">utilities</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/utility/">utility</a>). </p> <p>This recipe shows how to trap the KeyboardInterrupt and EOFError Python exceptions so that they do not crash your program. As a vehicle to show this, it uses a small Python utility that shows the ASCII code for any ASCII character you type.</p>

Revision 23. </p> <p>A context manager which properly handles SIGTERM (SystemExit) and SIGINT (KeyboardInterrupt) signals, registering a function which is always guaranteed to be called on interpreter exit. Also, it makes sure to execute previously registered functions as well (if any).</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 576865 by <a href="/recipes/users/4168519/">Shao-chuan Wang</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/ctypes/">ctypes</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/reboot/">reboot</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/shutdown/">shutdown</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/system_programming/">system_programming</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/win32/">win32</a>). </p> <p>It is true that by using win32 extension python modules, such as win32api, win32con, and win32security, we can easily shutdown the computer with a few steps. However, sometimes your python's runtime environment does not provide win32com module (because it is not a build-in module), we may have to shutdown the pc on our own.</p> <p>By using ctypes, we are still able to shutdown or reboot the PC easily.</p>
