ctr-c pressed pip should return as soon as possible

What’s the problem this feature will solve?

• user can cancel operation when pip install software for a long time, other than waiting for timeout
• for example ,when the network is not well ,user must wait for about 10s to see the pip output Operation cancelled by user, if ctr-c is pressed I hope the pip command return as soon as possible. Describe the solution you’d like

• I hope there is a ctr-c event handler

That’s a very old version of pip, does the same thing happen with the latest version (19.0.3)? Also, it’s possible that Python 2’s handling of interrupts of network calls is not as good as Python 3’s - do you get the same result with Python 3?

Having said that, I stand by what I said above - I think that fundamentally this is an issue with somewhere lower in the stack than pip.

Hi @LIUHUANUCAS. In addition to what was suggested above, getting strace output while reproducing could also help pinpoint a cause which could lead to a system configuration parameter or something that could help this situation.

Since it looks like this is specific to the underlying Python or system configuration and there’s no action for pip specifically, I will close this issue, but please let us know if there is anything else that we can help with.
