Solve : Issue with Telnet Server?

1.	Solve : Issue with Telnet Server?
Answer» I have a telnet server setup on WINDOWS 8 that i'd like to use to host a chat room and various text based games. I have all that already setup and when you login to the server it automatically loads the main Python script. The problem is that when users press ctrl + C they are able to "terminate the batch job" and ACCESS a regular command prompt. The cmd does not have admin privileges, however i still do not want users accessing it. I am using http://www.kpym.com/2/kpym/index.htm as my host software. How can i disable ctrl + c? CTRL +C is hard coded in the command shell. Each users systems command shell would have to be altered to disable it at their end. This is not likely going to happen. An alternative to this would be to make this a web based app. Python can be used web server side ETC and pass text back to users browser etc. Quote from: DaveLembke on May 06, 2014, 06:32:16 PM CTRL +C is hard coded in the command shell.

This is usually done in C - not sure how you'd accomplish it in Python.
