If you just typed in a command into the Python repl, and it is stuck in a synchronous "waiting-for-something-to-happen", how can we terminate just that command and return to the same repl session?

For example, say we typed websocket.recv() and the websocket is waiting for a message... how can we end that and get back to the repl prompt without losing the whole session?

Try control-c it usually works as a keyboard interrupt.
