python 结束线程

方法一：

class BlockingTestThread(Thread):
    def __init__(self):
        self._running_flag = False
        self.stop  = threading.Event()
        Thread.__init__(self, target=self.test_method)

    def test_method(self):
        try:
            while(not self.stop.wait(1)):
                self._running_flag = True
                print 'Start wait'
                self.stop.wait(100)
                print 'Done waiting'
        finally:
                self._running_flag = False

    def terminate(self):
         self.stop.set()  

if __name__ == "__main__":
    thread = BlockingTestThread()
    thread.start()

    time.sleep(2)
    print 'Time sleep 2'
    thread.terminate()
    print "Joining thread"
    thread.join()
    print "Done Joining thread"

方法二：

class Example(object):
   def __init__(self):
       self.stop = threading.Event()
       self.connection = Connection()
       self.mythread = Thread(target=self.dowork)
       self.mythread.start()     
   def dowork(self):

        while(not self.stop.is_set()):
             try:
                  blockingcall()        
             except CommunicationException:
                  pass
   def terminate():
       self.stop.set()
       self.connection.close()
       self.mythread.join()
