Comment(by infinity0):

 I spoke too soon; there is no way to catch CTRL-C on windows in python
 2.7: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16686510/how-do-i-capture-sigint-
 in-python-on-windows

 And the corresponding python bug is marked wontfix:
 http://bugs.python.org/issue18040 but perhaps we can persuade them to
 accept it...

 I have not tried catching CTRL-BREAK yet; there is a signal.SIGBREAK on
 windows python but it's undocumented.

 At the moment windows Tor kills PTs using TerminateProcess (see #9330); it
 should probably send either CTRL-BREAK or 2 CTRL-Cs to the PT instead.
