There is no clean way to terminate a thread cleanly from outside. You
need to let the thread terminates by itself. If it is a pure python
code, this can be done by one of:
1) setting a global/thread stop value that is checked by each threads
2) inserting a QUIT event to the event-loop


I have never used boost before, so I don't know what it can and cannot
do from outside the python's interpreter. However, this should give you
an idea of what to do...
