Ctrl-C is a red-herring here. Esc-Enter alone is sufficient to switch control processing.

Tested in Python 2.7 and 3.9 using xfce4-terminal in Fedora:

1. Ctrl-L clears the terminal window;
2. Type Esc-Enter;
3. Ctrl-L now inserts an actual ^L (chr(12) linefeed) instead of being captured by the terminal and clearing the screen.

I am 80% sure this is a *terminal feature* not a Python bug, to allow you to insert control characters into the command line, but I can't reproduce it in bash or find a way to revert back to normal processing.
