Hi there,
Previously when handling the termination of threads I had just called the
abort method and caught it in a try catch block in the thread callback.
After recently learning that this was a bad way of handling thread
termination I am working on terminating threads by using ManualResetEven t's.
I have come up with the following code which appears to work very well (at
end of message). I would like to know if anyone knows of any problems that
I could encounter from this code and whether or not it is following correct
procedure.
If someone has a link to suitable reference I would be most appreciative if
you could point me toward it. Otherwise, does this code look okay?

Greetings Pythonists;
I have limited experience with threaded apps and plenty with old style
forked heavyweight multi-processing apps.
Using Python 2.3.3 on a Redhat 7.x machine.
Wondering if there is a simple way from a main python program to kill
a running thread? I see with the 'threading' module the way daemonic
threads behave when the main program finishes.

I would like to execute some code when a thread terminates, in the
context of that thread - I guess similar to an ExitThread handler - is
it possible in a C# .NET application?
I can see a way to execute code when a thread is thrown away - by
having per-thread static attributes that are themselves objects, when
the thread object associated with that static value is garbage
collected, the destructor for the object is driven - but that...

I ran into an interesting re-pain delay after calling the Abort() method on
a thread, but it only happens the very first time I call it. Every time
afterward, there is no delay.
I've got a delegate inside the UI that I call to update the progress meter.
I use the Suspend() and Abort() methods based on button events.
I can watch the progress meter increase just fine when the thread is
running. When I select Start, I enable the Cancel...

My first thought was to call
WorkerThread.Suspend
but the help cautions against this (for good reason) because the caller has
no control over where the thread actually stops, and it might have a lock
pending, for example.
I want to be able to stop a thread temporarily, and then optionally resume
it or stop it for good.

Hi,
I have an application that uses a number of sub-threads.
What is the best way to do some processing in each thread when the main
application is shut down?
Is the ThreadAbortException thrown automatically for each thread? Or is
there some other event or exception automatically thrown that the thread can
"grab" as it is shut down?

Hi All
Have an app. On start up it creates a thread and goes to sleep.
Either on termination or completion of the worker thread, it triggers
the main app to start executing.
Question
Why is the completion of the worker/child thread triggering the
execution of the main app thread. Shouldn't the main app thread remain

Hi!
I have the following problem: I have written a short Python server
that creates an indefinite simulation thread that I want to kill when
quitting (Ctrl-C) from Python. Googling around has not given me any
hints on how to cleanly kill running threads before exiting. Any help
is appreciated!

Hello,
Ok I have 2 classes in my project, one is the main form and one is a
connection class, at a certain event on my main form a new instance is
made of the connection class, and a reference to the main form is passed
to its constructor.
The connection class opens up a new thread and starts doing work in it,
and adds collected data to the main form via a (cross-thread) control
invoking delegate.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
