In a running interpreter and Idle, ^C results in
KeyboardInterrupt
>>> 
and nothing else.

From a command line, I think
KeyboardInterrupt: Python startup stopped"
<cli prompt>
would be ideal.

On Windows, I do not know if a program started from an icon, shortcut, or explorer *can* be interrupted, except possibly with Task Manager if the entry shows up fast enough, as it should not get keyboard focus until started.
