I have a code with a one-liner while and a try-except statement which behaves weirdly.

This prints ‘a’ on Ctrl+C:

try:
    while True:
        pass
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print("a")

and this too:

try:
    i = 0
    while True: pass
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print("a")

but this doesn’t, and it throws a traceback:

try:
    while True: pass
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print("a")
