Step 6's 'return 130 on KeyboardInterrupt' is a regression from what Python does by itself, and it breaks shell loops. A shell decides whether Ctrl-C should also stop the enclosing script by asking whether the child died from SIGINT (`WIFSIGNALED`), not by inspecting the exit code; a process that catches the signal and calls `exit(130)` looks like a normal exit, so `for f in *.csv; do tool "$f"; done` proceeds to the next file after every Ctrl-C and the user has to interrupt once per iteration. Since Python 3.8 an unhandled `KeyboardInterrupt` makes the interpreter exit by re-raising SIGINT on itself, precisely so that parents can tell, and `$?` still reads 130 in that case. The tool that wants to clean up first should do its cleanup and then reproduce that behaviour: `signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal.SIG_DFL); os.kill(os.getpid(), signal.SIGINT)`. Returning 130 is only right where the parent is known to read codes and never signal status, which is not the shell.
