Great, then please file this  against python.

$ ipython
In [1]: import socket

In [4]: socket.gethostbyname('www.phy.duke.edu')
^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C---------------------------------------------------------------------------
KeyboardInterrupt                         Traceback (most recent call
last)

the socket call to gethostbyname does let you do an interrupt in the
middle of it - or at least - not at all times.
