<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>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 576667 by <a href="/recipes/users/4166241/">Gui R</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/process_management/">process_management</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/subprocess/">subprocess</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/terminate/">terminate</a>). Revision 2. </p> <p>The new subprocess module brings clarity and simplicity over the popenXX() functions and os.spawnXX() functions, but some implementations don't have the subprocess.terminate() method, which is crucial for killing a spawned process. This workaround works on both POSIX and Windows.</p>
