I've had that thought before, but is it actually possible to kill a thread from the outside? I have yet to find a way to do that. I suppose you could use something like sys.settrace and have the tracing function intercept some kill-flag and thereupon do thread.exit ()... but settrace is a magical CPython-specific thing and it would also make it much slower, so that's probably not a good idea. Any other possibilities? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web.py" group.
