I would appreciate help on two related questions:

1. Is it possible to cancel (kill) a "child" thread from the main thread in 
Python running on Windows? 

2. Also, is it possible to cancel (abort) a blocking read (say, to stdin) in a 
function that can be called by a timer? The goal is to cancel the read if input 
is not forthcoming within a specified time.

I have looked in the Python manuals and the Web, but did not find any thing.

Thank you in advance.
DKS
