How to kill a SocketServer?

[Jean-Pierre Bergamin]

Me again... :-)

Is there any possibility to kill a SocketServer that was started like this:


class ServerThread(threading.Thread):

    class MyHandler(SocketServer.StreamRequestHandler):
        def handle(self):
            line = self.rfile.readline()
            self.wfile.write(line.upper())

    def run(self):
        s = SocketServer.TCPServer(('', 1234), self.MyHandler)
        s.server_forever()

    def stop_server()
        # Any chance to stop the server here???
        what_to_do() # ????????

server_thread = ServerThread()
server_thread.start()
# do other things
server_thread.stop_server()

The problem is, that I found no way to interrupt the blocking call to
self.rfile.readline(). Is there a way to do that?

Using an asynchronous server is not an option.


Thanks in advance
