Scratch my confusion.  I added "print('after')" immediately after _thread.interrupt_main() in idlelib.run.Executor.interrupt_the_server() and 'after' is printed in Shell right after I hit ^C but a time.sleep(10) is not immediately interrupted and 'KeyboardInterrupt' does not show for nearly 10 seconds.  I don't know if this is a bug or unavoidable limitation not mentioned in the _thread doc.  I might be system dependent.
