bug#23300: 25.0.92; python interrupts subjop on keyborard quit

[Vitalie Spinu]

Currently python.el has a bad habit of interrupting running jobs on
keyboard quit.

Run a time consuming task:

  import time
  time.sleep(100)

Then go to python file and move your cursor around. If eldoc or company
completion is active, python.el will hang after requesting for
completion. That's because it's not smart enough to understand that the
process is busy. For me the hang even happens on C-x C-f for no clear
reason.

Type C-g and your subjob will be interrupted. User might have been
running long computations for hours by now and interfering with sub jobs
like this is plain unacceptable.

The problem is with the "hidden evaluation":
  
╭──────── #2951 ─ /home/vspinu/bin/emacs/lisp/progmodes/python.el ──
│      (with-current-buffer (process-buffer process)
│        (comint-interrupt-subjob)))))
╰──────── #2952 ─

Removing that line solves the problem but prints the incomplete output
to the subprocess. That is a much lesser evil than interrupting the
process job IMO.

(This bug report unfortunately got no response at the time.)

I tried reproducing this in Emacs 28 by

emacs -Q foo.py
C-c C-p
C-x h
C-c C-r

and then moving around, and I didn't get any interrupts, as far as I'm
able to tell.

Are you still seeing this problem in more recent versions of Emacs?  If
so, do you have a precise recipe to reproduce the bug?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
