Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

It's a little confusing now.

❯ python -m asyncio
asyncio REPL 3.14.0a4+ (heads/main:7d275611f62, Jan 27 2025, 05:41:56) [GCC 11.4.0] on linux
Use "await" directly instead of "asyncio.run()".
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import asyncio
>>> raise KeyboardInterrupt

KeyboardInterrupt
>>> 

❯ python
Python 3.14.0a4+ (heads/main:7d275611f62, Jan 27 2025, 05:41:56) [GCC 11.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> raise KeyboardInterrupt
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<python-input-0>", line 1, in <module>
    raise KeyboardInterrupt
KeyboardInterrupt
>>> 

Two options here:

1. Remove specialcasing of KeyboardInterrupt in the asyncio REPL
   

   cpython/Lib/asyncio/__main__.py

   Lines 73 to 77 in bb5c687

   	except BaseException:
   	if keyboard_interrupted:
   	self.write("\nKeyboardInterrupt\n")
   	else:
   	self.showtraceback()

2. Specialcase KeyboardInterrupt in the main REPL too, as is in the asyncio REPL

What would you opt for?

Me personally -- 1 (show traceback).
