Steps to reproduce

  • Create script.py:
from vpython import *
b = box()
  • Run python script.py on cmd / Powershell on Windows. New tab appears in browser.
  • Close the browser tab
  • Try to terminate the application with Ctrl-C, Ctrl-D, .. Nothing seems to happen. After few minutes (1? 5? 10?) the script returns to the console.

What would be expected

  • Hitting Ctrl-C exits the process immediately.

Versions

  • vpython 7.6.1
  • Python 3.7.9 64-bit on Windows

Thanks for the report. I note that there is a workaround, which is that if you kill the browser, not just the tab, there is a clean exit.
