I am doing some Python tutorials to try and learn as much as possible about the language and I am having some problems with exception handling. I am running the code in cmd in Windows 10 using Python 3.4.3. Specifically, the KeyboardInterrupt block does not print anything at all when Ctrl + C is pressed. While that is not necessarily important, I'm thinking of times when I might need to perform other actions upon a KeyboardInterrupt such as writing out to a file.
def process_input(input_value):
try:
float_value = float(input_value)
except ValueError:
raise ValueError("\n'%s' is not a number." % input_value)
if float_value <= 0:
raise ValueError("\nMeasurements must be positive values.")
return float_value
def get_dims(*names):
dims = []
for n in names:
raw_input = input("Please enter a %s : " % n)
processed_input = process_input(raw_input)
dims.append(processed_input)
return dims
def main():
print("\nThis program will request a length, width, and height and\n will" \
"return the total volume for a box.\n")
success = False
try:
length, width, height = get_dims('Length', 'Width', 'Height')
success = True
except ValueError as e:
print(e)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("\nInterrupted.")
if success:
volume = length * width * height
print("\nThe volume of the box is %.2f" % volume)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Instead of printing out the message "Interrupted", when pressing Ctrl + C during
the first user input, the output looks like this:
Please enter a Length : Traceback (most recent call last):
I am in Windows 10, running the code in cmd. Any ideas?
