Hi alan
Thanks.
But if I write a code like the followiing, how I can stop the thread
#!/usr/bin/env python
import threading
import time, os
class Infi(threading.Thread):
def __init__(self, a):
self.a = a
threading.Thread.__init__(self)
def run(self):
i = 1
while i==1:
print self.a
time.sleep(.5)
self.a += 1
if __name__ == '__main__':
t = Infi(1)
t.start()
time.sleep(2)
if t.isAlive():
print 'Here I want to stop the thread (the while loop) and continue with
the remaining part of the script'
obj_file = open(clus_cata,'r')
try:
pnames = obj_file.readline().split()
except:
pass
......
......
......
and so on
Thanks in Advance
