You can't safely interrupt threads. What you can do is *request* the thread to terminate by setting a flag on it (perhaps using a threading.Event object, but an ordinary bool attribute can also be used), and then having the thread periodically check the state of the flag and exit gracefully when requested. For more detail, see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/323972/is-there-any-way-to-kill-a-thread-in-python -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
