Prevent PyCharm from showing builtin modules on KeyboardInterrupt and other occasions

Question

In PyCharm when an Error occurs the IDE opens the module that produced the Error (this is especially annoying when the Error was produced by pressing Ctrl+C).

It also opens the module in which the program currently "is" when pausing in Debug mode. Is there a way to disable this behavior for built-in modules? (Preferably with a way of showing the exception anyway in case you want to see the source of the built-in module)

As I posted later here you can Edit PyDev's source to prevent parts of this from happening:

First, you have to find the source for the PyDev interactive interpreter (which is used by PyCharm). On my Windows machine it is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\PyCharm\helpers\PyDev (path my vary of course).

The problem can be fixed by editing the file _pydev_imps/_pydev_execfile.py (in the PyDev source directory). Line 18 reads

exec(compile(contents+"\n", file, 'exec'), glob, loc)

wrap it in a try ... except block with the following code as exception handler

import traceback; traceback.print_exc()

thanks for the suggestion but it now breaks into : File "/Applications/PyCharm CE.app/Contents/helpers/pydev/pydevd_file_utils.py", line 341, in GetFilenameAndBase – Anona112 Dec 20 '15 at 16:11
@Anona112 I haven't experienced this behaviour; I probably changed some other setting. but I don't remember anymore – 0x539 Dec 21 '15 at 17:11

I accept the bounty as it pointed to the right direction:

applying the same trick to the file pydevd.py line 1793 finally solved it for me!!

        try:
          launch(file, globals, locals)  # execute the script
        except:
          import traceback; traceback.print_exc()
