Thread terminate

[Ervin Hegedüs]

Hi,

what's the correct way to terminate a thread by itself?

I mean:

class MyThread(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, queueitem):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        ...

    def run(self):
        """pseudo code below"""

        try:
           self.connect_to_database()
        except:
           self.terminate("Error when connect to db")

        try:
           self.create_db_table()
        except:
           self.terminate("Error when create table")

    ....
    def terminate(self, msg):
        self.error = True
        self.errormsg = msg
        syslog.syslog(syslog.LOG_DEBUG, msg)
        raise Exception(msg)


in main():

for q in range(0, 10):
    mt = MyThread()
    try:
        mt.run()
    except:
        mt.join()

but it doesn't works - the exception showed on stdout only, and
the thread stops of course, but I would like to handle the
exceptions. If I call the join() inside from thread object, then
an exception raised, cause the thread object of Threading module
doesn't allows that...


Any helps are welcome,

greetings:


a.
