Hello everybody! I have a couple of questions about threads: the first is, is there the possibility to cancel a thread while it is executing (like the C function thread_cancel), for implementing something like an "abort" button? And the second is, i have a GUI in which there's a button that launches a thread implemented using the threading module (creating a class which inherits from threading.Thread and overriding __init__ and run), i chose to use threads to avoid the problem of freezing my windows, but after i call classobject.start() this happens: if i then call classobject.join(), then the button is freezed, because now the button waits the end of the thread, if i don't make this call the button releases itself (that is a good behavior) but the thread freezes until i give a ctrl-c in the console from which i launched my app. So, how can i make my button release while the thread is executing? (my GUI is implemented in GTK and i use libglade) (sorry for the length of this post...)
