How to kill a thread

[Loet]

Hello, I'm just starting with Python and I run into something that will be
documented somwhere, but I just can't find it.

I guess it must be possible to kill a thread in Python. I think it must
even be possible by the thread to catch something from other threads with
the 'try' statement and then have the thread commit suicide. Does anyone
know how to to this, or know where it's documented?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Loet
