[Python] KeyboardInterrupt - How to stop a thread?

try:

	threading.Thread(target=server.serve_forever).start()

except KeyboardInterrupt:
	
	# STOP THREAD AND TERMINATE APPLICATION

How do I do that?

I need a way to stop that thread and exit application completely.

Re: [Python] KeyboardInterrupt - How to stop a thread?

Set the "daemon" attribute to True. The subthreads should then exit when the main thread does.

Again, please take a look through the modules in my threaded servers package that I linked in your other thread. I have likely encountered and solved many of the same problems that you will encounter.

Found a way on my own. Thanks Xyne for your help though.
