I want to be able to quit a action my program is preforming by hitting ctrl + c, but without quitting the program entirely. I’m sure there is a thread about this somewhere, but I couldn’t find anything related to what I want. Here is what I want
def sleep(): time.sleep(3600) print("Hello!")
.
>Start program >Hit ctrl + c 10 seconds later, >Program prints 'Hello!'

You can wrap your function in a try except block and listen for the KeyboardInterrupt, similar to this post.
Full code:
def sleep(): try: time.sleep(3600) except KeyboardInterrupt: pass print("Hello!")
