Re: [Tutor] How to stop a specific thread in Python 2.7?
Could you show a python code example of this?

No, `set()` doesn't kill a thread at all. It sets the `Event`, and each thread must be checking that event regularly, and quitting if it becomes set. You just need a per-thred vent instead of a single Event for all the threads. Cheers, Cameron Simpson -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

How to stop a specific thread in Python 2.7?
Hello guys, I want to know how to kill a specific running thread (say by its id) for now I run and kill a thread like the following: # start thread thread1 = threading.Thread(target= self.some_func(), args=( ...,), ) thread1.start() # kill the thread event_thread1 = threading.Event() event_thread1.set() I know that set() will kill all running threads, but if there was thread2 as well and I want to kill only thread1? Thanks! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
