How should threads be terminated? (related to 'Help with thread related tracebacks')

[Brian]

Hi Maxwell,

Yes, to terminate a thread in Python early, use the following:

      import sys; sys.exit(0)

This kills the particular thread without wiping out the entire Python 
application.

Hope this helps,

Brian  :-)
