You'll want to run the script in a separate thread, and code it in such a way 
that it either checks a termination flag periodically or is interruptable in 
another way.

Your main thread can then watch for keyboard input, stop the script thread, do 
any desired cleanup, and terminate (gently or forcefully, as required).
