kill thread

[Mathieu Prevot]

Hi,

I have a threading.Thread class with a "for i in range(1,50)" loop
within. When it runs and I do ^C, I have the error [1] as many as
loops. I would like to catch this exception (and if possible do some
cleanup like in C pthreads) so the program finishes cleanly. Where and
how can I do this ? in __run__ ? __init__ ? a try/except stuff ?

Thanks,
Mathieu
