Killing a running thread

[Michael Gilfix]

  In Python you need to break your loops up into chunks and check a
have a threading.Event () object that you check if set. So something
like:

     done = threading.Event ()

     line = file.readline ()
     while line and not done.isSet ():
        # do stuff
        line = file.readline ()

   Or..

    for line in file.xreadlines ():
       if done.isSet ():
         break
