Comment (by jstenar):

 This bugreport made me think of a problem I had when using eggs a year or
 so ago, I'm not sure if it is the same because there is no information in
 the bugreport about what installtion method was used.

 The problem is that easyinstall puts an exefile in
 python/Scripts/ipython.exe this exefile launches a separate python
 process. The problem comes when you press control-c which terminates the
 ipython.exe but the python process survives. And after that the cmd.exe
 and the python.exe competes for access to the console which makes the
 whole thing unusable until you kill the python process.

 My guess is that it would be best if we could stop this exe from being
 installed.
