 Since we changed the init script to python, I've been getting the
 following message whenever I keep pressing Ctrl+C in command line:
 {{{
 ^CTraceback (most recent call last):
   File "/home/grass/trunk/dist.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/etc/prompt.py",
 line 3, in <module>
     import os
 KeyboardInterrupt
 }}}

 It doesn't cause any real problems, but it doesn't look nice. Also, the
 overall responsiveness of the prompt became much slower than when we were
 in init.sh.

 Can we fix this? Or can we opt to use the old init.sh, which I think is
 gone now?

 I believe the main motivation of this migration to python was to support
 MS-Windows, but it somehow hurts performance on Unix.
