This recipe: http://code.activestate.com/recipes/576780-timeout-for-nearly-any-callable/
Claims that a Python thread can be stopped by executing the private method "Thread._Thread__stop". I don't think this is true, since _Thread__stop doesn't really stop or kill the thread. In conformance to theory, the "timelimited" method this recipe defines leaves a thread running in the background if the function it's given is long-running (or infinite). Is there something I'm missing? Eli -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
