Oh, I did that when I tested sys.interrupt_main()  :-)

But not checked in until I saw whether the patch would stick.

It sounds to me like thread.interrupt_main() is the way to go for now.

That naming makes the limitation evident.  If there should be a
subsequent generalization to the implementation, it's no problem to
update IDLE's run.py if thread.interrupt_main() gets deprecated.

I'll post a revision to the patch.
