This isn't a python problem. You can't cleanly or safely kill threads, period. If you have to use blocking functions like this (you don't, you might consider using Twisted for your networking instead) the way you "cancel" it is to just stop waiting for the response and discard the response (or error) when it eventually comes. > -- > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list > -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
