[New-bugs-announce] [issue1360] Queue.get() can't be interrupted with Ctrl-C unless timed out

[Daniele Varrazzo]

New submission from Daniele Varrazzo:

This issue probably depends on #1167930

When waiting on a queue in blocking mode, in no timeout is set, ctrl-C
doesn't raise KeyboardInterrupt::

    q = Queue()
    q.get(True)
    # ctrl-c doesn't work here

If any timeout is set, ctrl-c works as expected::

    q = Queue()
    ONEYEAR = 365 * 24 * 60 * 60
    q.get(True, ONEYEAR)
    # ctrl-c works here

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "queuebug.py", line 6, in <module>
        q.get(True, ONEYEAR)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.5/Queue.py", line 174, in get
        self.not_empty.wait(remaining)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.5/threading.py", line 233, in wait
        _sleep(delay)
    KeyboardInterrupt
