Aborting a Python import from C API

[Pete Fraser]

I have written what is effectively a debugger for Python written in 'C'/C++

I have used the PyEval_SetTrace() to set a trace handler and I use this to step through python code very nicely.
However, when I am part way through a file and want to save the (modified) file back to disk it seems to be locked
by Python interpreter.

How can I stop the Python interpreter which is currently waiting for a return from the Trace function that I provided (the thread running Python is suspended).
Returning 0/1 from the Trace function doesn't seem to stop it - is there any other function that I should be calling first.

Thanks for any help for this newbie in Python.

Pete
