Description

Currently, using Ctrl+C on a running test causes it to immediately terminate. However, none of the tests already run are reported on, and any errors or failures seen up to the point of being terminated are lost.

There is a mechanism in Python's test framework which allows a signal (SIGINT in this case) to be caught in such a way that instead of simply terminating, the remaining tests are skipped. This will allow the tests already run to be reported.
