When unsophisticated (but not evil) users write Python macros, they occasionally write infinite loops. It would be nice if it was possible to interrupt threads to break these loops. The safety of rasing an exception in another thread was noted in http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=452266&group_id=5470 Anton Wilson wrote a patch for this some time ago: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2003-February/148999.html Note that this won't help if the thread is blocked on I/O. |
