except KeyboardInterrupt:

ansible-console catches KeyboardInterrupt silently.

This may confuse new users, and a simple 'Exiting REPL!' before that self.do_exit would probably be helpful for someone trying the REPL for the first time.

I'll admit I was confused and didn't even realize I was back in my normal shell at first.

Alternatively, if this behavior could be made configurable with something as simple as a class or instance attribute or something that would amazing.
