How do I know when a thread quits?

child thread tries to access something in the sys module which has already been GC'ed. I want a reliable way of knowing when the child thread finished execution so that I can make the main thread wait till then. Any ideas? TIA, Prashanth Ellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/lis
