What do you mean "pure try-expect-based method"? You mean without touching
signal masks? As long as you're calling non-Python based C libraries, you're
out of the realm of pure Python. If PyCurl were instead 100% Python, the
KeyboardInterrupt would be raised as you expect and you could catch it
normally.  But in this case, not only is the interrupt happening while running
C code, it's happening while running C code from Python while calling back to C
code that in turn is calling code in Python. Handling that as this code now is
in pure Python without having to drop to writing a C extension seems pretty
good to me.  The alternative SIGINT handler solution should also work and may
be more elegant, depending on your point of view.

In any case, the issue has turned out to be unrelated to the topic of this
list, so you're better off finding a PyCurl forum if you prefer another
solution.
