How can I interrupt the IPython interpreter as ope

Question

Let's say I accidentally evaluate an enormous variable--a list with a ba-jillion elements, or whatever. As they scroll down my screen and my computer crawls to a halt, is there a good way to interrupt this without killing my *Python* buffer? I'm using IPython via python-mode.el and ipython.el in emacs24 on Mac OS X Leopard--

Thoughts appreciated, a.

Dunno if its possible, resp. how difficult to implement.

I usually C-c until it stops... and it usually works...
