When writing [Cython](http://cython.org/) code, special care must be taken to
|
|
ensure that the code can be interrupted with `CTRL-C`. Since Cython optimizes
|
|
for speed, Cython normally does not check for interrupts. For example, code
|
|
like the following cannot be interrupted in Cython:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
while True:
|
|
pass
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The [cysignals](https://github.com/sagemath/cysignals) package provides
|
|
mechanisms to handle interrupts (and other signals and errors) in Cython code.
