Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior on Windows: call socket.connect with a timeout and press CTRL+C during the timeout. Then trace the socket library path involved in connect and compare the observed interrupt handling with the expected behavior. Done means CTRL+C interrupts the timed connection attempt reliably.
