Unable to catch Control-C while using wexpect about wexpect

[raczben]

v3.2.0 should solve this if WEXPECT_SPAWN_CLASS environment variable is set to SpawnPipe or SpawnSocket:

export WEXPECT_SPAWN_CLASS=SpawnSocket

Thank you, running with the Windows environment variable 'WEXPECT_SPAWN_CLASS' set to 'SpawnPipe' does allow myPython program to catch Control-C, and that is much appreciated!

Thank you also for adding the "REFACTOR" section to the wexpect README file. That helped me understand what the environment variable is for. Adding some additional documentation about how to set this environment variable would also be a good idea, but at this point I've figured it out how to set it for what I need. ('SpawnPipe' works for me, 'SpawnSocket' does not.)

Note: It is awkward that users must enter 'set WEXPECT_SPAWN_CLASS=SpawnPipe' before running the Python program. Is there any plan to remove the need to do this? Or is there a way to set this environment variable from within the Python program?

Thanks, for your feedback. My plan is to set SpawnPipe as the default class, while it become as stable as the legacy one, so I hope this unpleasant environment variable need, will be solved implicitly.

Eventually setting SpawnPipe as the default sounds good to me.

We can close this Issue if you wish. (I'm not sure if I should do that, or if I should let you do it.)

v4.0.0 uses SpanwPipe as the default spawn class.
