I'm not sure what's going on here, but the following code continues running even after I end the process in the NppExec console with Ctrl-C (during the execution of the while loop). I restarted my computer to stop the Ctrl key sends. However, if I run the script in Window's cmd prompt, Ctrl-C ends the script just fine.

import time
import win32com.client

shell = win32com.client.Dispatch("WScript.Shell")

time.sleep(2)
while True:
  shell.SendKeys('^') # Ctrl key
  time.sleep(0.5)

The NppExec run command I used was: cmd /C python -u "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"

Let me know if there is any more information I can provide. Thanks.

It's not clear exactly what you're asking here. Could you clarify? – Brooks Moses Dec 16 '12 at 23:20
@BrooksMoses How can I tweak NppExec so that it acts like a normal console would in the described scenario? – SamCode Dec 17 '12 at 21:59
What happens if you kill the python process? Would that not stop the script? – Jean-Francois T. Apr 07 '15 at 03:51
