You could use PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc - it's supposed to raise an exception in another thread. There is a Cookbook recipe using it here <http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/496960> I've never actually used it, but I want to try it some day, so please report back your findings if you decide to use this function. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
