Killing process

[alexandreday]

When running fitsne Python wrapper, it is common that you want to kill the process (say you screwed a parameter, etc.). However, while you can use CTRL-C to send a kill signal, this won't actually kill the c C-code that's running. Is there a way to fix this ? It seems important that you should be able to terminate the code even though it is just a wrapper.

This is a great question. I frequently struggle with this in other packages as well: when calling C code in R, it does not seem to check for signals (e.g. ctrl-c). It looks like this might be a solution.

I will leave this open and add an enhancement label, as I think this would be a great feature. Perhaps at every iteration it can check signals.

Great, yes, I'll try to see if there's a simple fix to this.
