That doesn't surprise me at all. You get the Quit menu item for free,  
but as Python doesn't run an eventloop itself it won't notice that the  
menu-item is selected.  That's why you have to run your own eventloop  
to get nice gui behaviour.

IIRC CTRL+C only works when your application hits Python once in a  
while.
