T800.winthread
Extension of threading.Thread adding terminate method using Win32 API on Python
How to use added terminate method
Just replace your use of threading.Thread with T800.winthread.TerminatableThread.
from T800.winthread import TerminatableThread as Thread
t = Thread(target=run_forever) # e.g. sys.stdin.read
t.start()
...
t.terminate()
# You can even exit here though t.setDaemon(True) was not called.
How to suppress annoying warning messages
import warnings
from T800.winthread import ThreadTerminationWarning
warnings.simplefilter("ignore", category=ThreadTerminationWarning)
What's T800?
Just Google it. :)
