You have to reset the SIGINT handler after QApp init.  
Try:

import signal
signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal.SIG_DFL)


Although, as other people have said, this is probably a bad idea.  I
personally find it useful -- during development -- as a method to keep
bad ideas from making the app unkillable without a trip to a different
terminal.
