You can start all threads other than CmdListener as daemon
threads, using threading.Thread.setDaemon(). Then when
CmdListener exits, the program will exit. Python starts with
one, non-daemon thread, and if that's what you are using for
MainThread, you'd have to switch which thread runs what.

Python deliberately does not offer a threadicide method.
