hello.Gabriel.
PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc cause me a win32 exception of "Stack

My app is a MFC app, it have the main thread and the sub thread, the
sub thread run the script(Py_RunFile),
That I am looking for a way to stop the Py_RunFile from the main
thread.
that looks like I have to use the TerminateThread() .

thanks.Gabriel, could you find some example for me?
