Stopping a python thread

[cullman at my-deja.com]

Is there any support for stopping a thread that
was spawned from the main thread?

I have experimented with _Thread__stop, and that
does seems to at least let the calling program
exit without hanging for the child thread.  But
if the calling program does not exit, the child
thread continues to run.

Is this not featured, as it is not available on
all thread platforms?  Is there any talk of
exposing more of the pthread stuff as an option?

Thanks,

Cayce
