Stopping threads from the outside

[holger at trillke.net]

Hello,

maybe a simple question:

how could you stop a running threading.Thread from
the *outside*? of course i could introduce
some kind of flag into the event loop
of the Thread.run-method, but i really would prefer
to have a non-instrusive way for several reasons. 

Any way to do this?

thanks,
