I just noticed Diez's reply to a related question earlier today, where he suggested wrapping the thread's run() method in a try/finally construct. It works perfectly in my situation - if there is an unhandled exception, my cleanup method is called before the exception is raised. Thanks, Diez (even though you did not realise you were helping me). Frank -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
