Problem with threads

[Stephan Popp]

Hi all,
I've got a problem with stopping python-threads.
I'm starting a thread with twisteds reactor.deferToThread which start a 
methodcall in a seperate thread. In this thread a swig-wrapped c++ module is 
running. 
Now I want to stop the running thread from the main thread or another one, and 
have no idea how to do it.
I hope it has become clear what I want to do, if not feel free to ask.
I'm running python 2.4

Thanks in advance,
Stephan
