Hi! I have embedded Python in an C++ App. The Python-Interpreter is running in its own Thread (I'm using PThreads).
I use PyRun_SimpleString to run Python-Code that the user entered in an editorwindow. I want the user to be able to stop the execution of Python-Code (e.g. using a Cancel-Button). Unfortunately I can't find a way to do this. Of course, I can kill the Interpreter-Thread forcibly with pthread_cancel() but the App will crash if I call any Python API- Function afterwards. I thought about starting 2 Threads in Python: One thread checks for a stop condition (by calling a C-function that checks the Cancel-Button) and the user-code runs in a second thread. The Problem with this approach is that there seems to be no possibility for one Python-thread to kill another. I don't want the user to have to check fo a stop condition himself either. Any help is greatly appreciated. Regards, Dirk -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
