Description
To reproduce:
- django-admin.py createsuperuser
- enter an email address
- at the password prompt, change your mind and hit Ctrl-C
- that doesn't work, try Ctrl-Z
- that doesn't work either, you just keep getting prompted
Workaround is to kill from another terminal or ssh session.

It's is a bug; a command line tools should obey SIGINT.

If it's a bug, it's an upstream python bug. The python UNIX implementation of getpass() seems to actively suppress SIGINTs http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/getpass.py?revision=76000&view=markup#l65 though the windows implementation seems to allow it http://svn.python.org/view/python/trunk/Lib/getpass.py?revision=76000&view=markup#l101

There is a very recent upstream bug report for this: http://bugs.python.org/issue11236

Given that this is an upstream bug, and fixing it will be a non-trivial task, I'm going to mark this wontfix.
Of course, if someone finds a trivial workaround, feel free to reopen and provide that patch.
You can use Ctrl+d to interrupt this prompt. Ctrl+d sends EOF. This is the only way to interrupt it since the special way getpass has to modify the terminal to disable echo. This isn't a bug.
