As Jeff explains, it is rather unlikely that GC will collect primegen objects, since the generating thread holds self as a local variable. You should make background_generator have explicit q and event arguments, and you should signal the event in __del__. However, this won't terminate the thread, since it still hangs in .put. So it might be easiest to .read() in __del__ first. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
