Well I once wrote the following, to allow threads raising exceptions
in each other.
http://groups.google.be/group/comp.lang.python/msg/5833130893cee567?hl=nl&;
Maybe the idea is usefull for you.
Hmm. It's definitely something I plan to keep in my head. I'm a little wary
of mucking with the interpreter at that level (that warning about "naive
use" of PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc in the documentation definitely would
apply to my knowledge level of python internals at this point). However, I
may end up having to...
For now, though, trying to get the threads to exit cleanly is an aesthetic
thing (a flag and sys.exit() does the job, albeit with the occasional
exception when a thread doesn't check it's flag in time). Heck just going
into process explorer and killing the thing is acceptable at this stage. But
this may change, and I'll be searching for this e-mail again....
Thanks for the tip!
