I suggest you not to use python IDLE if possible as it is very simple and not very programming-friendly enviroment. I would recommend to use PyScripter or Notepad++, both of them are free and much better shells for writing in python. In PyScripter you can terminate running program by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F9 ('Abort debugging'). In Notepad++ for running python programs you will need to install plugin NppExec and run python scripts by pressing F6 (for the very first time you will need to enter this line for make it work: C:\Python27\python.exe "$(FULLCURRENTPATH)" ). After program starts, if you'll press F6 again "Terminate" button appears and you can kill active process. Try this and you will never ever want to come back using native python IDLE :)
