Issue1957

CTRL-C works fine under Linux (well there are other bugs which are NOT related to this, issue1313 and issue1270). Under Windows CTRL-C does not work and the only way to stop Jython is to kill the JVM (java.exe) in the TaskManager.

Problem does not exist in 2.5.1.

Problem exists in 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 (beta and rc1).

Test caes:

    java.exe -jar  jython.jar -m SimpleHTTPServer

Then issue CTRL-C to quit.

I think that this is to do with the JLineConsole.

If you change the "python.console" property in the registry file to "org.python.util.InteractiveConsole", i.e

python.console=org.python.util.InteractiveConsole

The ctrl-c starts working fine.

If you leave it at the default JLine console (http://jline.sourceforge.net/) then ctrl-c seems to get treated as a normal character (shows up as a heart symbol on my windows command line).

I suggest you try a different console class until this is fixed.

I'll look into how we can address this.

Awesome research/workaround!

Confirmed.

    java.exe -Dpython.console=org.python.util.InteractiveConsole -jar jython.jar -m SimpleHTTPServer

now works with 2.5.2 and 2.5.3.

The other test case:

    java -jar jython.jar

Shows CTRL-C as a heart symbol (when chcp = 437), and the workaround of:

    java -Dpython.console=org.python.util.InteractiveConsole -jar jython.jar

means CTRL-C quits like it used to (and does for CPython).

BTW 2.5.3 isn't a valid version to report bugs on.

Yeah - sorry about 2.5.3 not being in Versions - something is wrong with our Roundup instance such that it isn't allowing me to add one.

I have also discovered that the builtin "input()" command does not work in 2.5.2 nor 2.5.3. The workaround of using the InteractiveConsole class does solve this problem as well as the original complaint.

Going through and fixing versions now.

On Windows using the recently released Jython 2.7b3, Ctrl-C does not terminate a running script; on Linux it works fine. Ctrl-C works as expected with Jython 2.5.4rc1 on Windows.

The workaround for previous versions of Jython to get Ctrl-c to work on Windows, adding runtime option -Dpython.console=org.python.util.InteractiveConsole, does not work with Jython 2.7b3; it produces the following error:

console: Failed to install 'org.python.util.InteractiveConsole': does not implement interface org.python.core.Console.
