ctrl-c ctrl-c in shell or py-shell

[Paul Northug]

If I am running an emacs shell or interactive python shell on the
local machine, I can use Ctrl-C Ctrl-C to interrupt something running
inside this shell.

However, if I do this on a shell running on a remote host through
tramp, Ctrl-C Ctrl-C kills the shell entirely rather than interrupting
the process running inside the shell as expected. Is there a way
around this behavior?

Thanks,
Paul.
