Python ActiveX Scripting Engine (0x80020009) Error - KeyboardInterrupt - python 2.2

[Chris Prinos]

I had the same issue with my IIS system, and had to use a workaround that
disables the KeyboardInterrupt from being processed.   The code I use is
shown below.

see http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2001-April/039881.html and
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-April/099002.html for an
explanation

<!--
These first two script blocks are needed because IIS looks for a SCRIPT
block in the default scripting language of the server. That could be
JScript or VBScript, but it won't be Python.

This is only a problem for this global.asa file.
