Try this:

  loop_completed = True
  for i in range(1,50):
      try:
         # your code here
      except KeyboardException:
         loop_completed = False
         break # this breaks the loop
  # end loop
  if loop_completed:
     # code to be executed in case of normal completion
  else:
     # code to be executed in case of interruption
  # code to be executed in both cases
