Stopping python using ctrl+c

I have a python script that uses threads and makes lots of HTTP requests. I think what’s happening is that while a HTTP request (using urllib2) is reading, it’s blocking and not responding to CtrlC to stop the program. Is there any way around this?

Get data from pandas into a SQL server with PYODBC

I am trying to understand how python could pull data from an FTP server into pandas then move this into SQL server. My code here is very rudimentary to say the least and I am looking for any advice or help at all. I have tried to load the data from the FTP server first which works fine…. If I then remove this code and change it to a select from ms sql server it is fine so the connection string works, but the insertion into the SQL server seems to be causing problems.
