I assume that with "close a thread" you mean "terminate a thread". It is difficult to terminate a thread from the outside, because on many platforms, there is no reliable way to terminate an (operating system level) thread in a safe way. The easiest thing would be that you prepare your thread to terminate (on its own) when the outside world sets a flag that it should terminate. In Python 2, there has been a C level Python function which allows to indicate to a thread that it should terminate. It implements the approach from the previous paragraph but at the Python interpreter level. It cannot stop a thread if it is not executing Python code (but somewhere in a "C" extension). Not sure, whether this function is available in Python 3. It might be possible that you move the activity now done in a thread into a process. Terminating a process is far easier than terminating a thread. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
