It seems this is the function I need, however the following gave an access violation: PyEval_AcquireLock(); PyThreadState_Swap(thread); // stop interpreter by sending system exit exception to it's thread PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc(thread->thread_id, PyExc_SystemExit); PyThreadState_Swap(maininterpreter); PyEval_ReleaseLock(); Andy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
