Python seems to intentionally make aborting threads nigh impossible. You're
probably way better off doing something akin to this:
def stuff2():
time.sleep(4)
if reactor.running:
print "stuff2 finished"
else:
print "Don't need to stuff2"
Also iirc in Twisted you need to use callFromThread on reactor methods
rather than calling the reactor directly.
