Dummy question: why don't you use KeyboardInterrupt instead of a custom SIGINT handler? try: for i in range(1000000): print(i) except KeyboardInterrupt: print("got sigint") Python SIGINT handler raises a KeyboardInterrupt (the handler is written in C, not in Python) which is safe, whereas writing to sys.stdout doesn't look to be a good idea :-)
