If I call process.interactive() and the process terminates, I get a message about an EOFError but the interactive prompt still stays open. How can I break from this prompt when an error is received?

Here's an example I'm using to test:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

from pwn import *

def check_connection(p):
    print('p.proc.stdin.closed:', p.proc.stdin.closed)
    print('p.proc.stdout.closed:', p.proc.stdout.closed)
    print("p.connected('send'):", p.connected('send'))
    print("p.connected('recv')", p.connected('recv'))
    print("p.can_recv()", p.can_recv())
    print('')

p = process('/bin/ls')

check_connection(p)

p.interactive()

check_connection(p)

try:
    p.send(b'A')
except:
    pass

check_connection(p)

Output:

$ ./test-interactive.py
[+] Starting local process '/bin/ls': pid 2131696
p.proc.stdin.closed: False
p.proc.stdout.closed: False
p.connected('send'): True
p.connected('recv') True
p.can_recv() True

[*] Switching to interactive mode
[*] Process '/bin/ls' stopped with exit code 0 (pid 2131696)
a.out  aslr.c  test-interactive.py  test.py
[*] Got EOF while reading in interactive
$
[*] Interrupted
p.proc.stdin.closed: False
p.proc.stdout.closed: True
p.connected('send'): True
p.connected('recv') False
p.can_recv() False

p.proc.stdin.closed: False
p.proc.stdout.closed: True
p.connected('send'): True
p.connected('recv') False
p.can_recv() False

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/gsgx/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/pwnlib/tubes/process.py", line 746, in close
    fd.close()
BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe

So the EOFError happened in the middle of interactive() on the recv side, so I can't check for this before calling it. Essentially, I'd like interactive() to end if the recv end disconnects, without waiting for the send end to disconnect.
