Hi Amit, >1. I created a global variable named "QuitThread" on my main module. >2. I initially set it to "False". >3. When clicking on the "Run" button of my GUI (defined in the main >module), a new thread starts using start_new_thread, where QuitThread is >one of the variables in its tuple.
This sounds wrong. You don't need QuitThread as a parameter to start_new_thread. >4. This new thread runs a function from a second module. In this >module I also added "import thread". >5. This function runs a loop in which it checks every iteration >whether QuitThread is True or False. >6. If it is True, it executes "thread.exit()". >7. Nothing happens. The thread continues on running. has your problem been solved in the mean time? If not two things to check/try: - thread.exit works by throwing an exception. Make sure you don't catch it by accident. - Print/log value of QuitThread on every access in both threads.
