As others noted, the threading module offers Thread.setDaemon. As the doc says: "The entire Python program exits when no active non-daemon threads are left." Python starts your program with one (non-daemon) thread which is sometimes called the "main" thread. I suggest creating all other threads as daemons. The process will then exit when the main thread exits. If some other thread needs to end the process, it does so by telling the main thread to exit. For example, we might leave the main thread waiting at a lock (or semaphore), and exit if the lock is ever released. > it seems that the follow doesn't work, in my Windows XP: > thread.start() > thread.join() Is that part of the questions above, or another issue? -- --Bryan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
