Hi!
I have embedded Python in an C++ App.
The Python-Interpreter is running in its own
Thread (I'm using PThreads).
I use PyRun_SimpleString to run Python-Code that the user entered
in an editorwindow.
I want the user to be able to stop the execution of
Python-Code (e.g. using a Cancel-Button).
Unfortunately I can't find a way to do this.
Of course, I can kill the Interpreter-Thread forcibly with
pthread_cancel() but the App will crash if I call any Python API-
Function afterwards.
I thought about starting 2 Threads in Python: One thread checks for a
stop condition (by calling a C-function that checks the Cancel-Button)
and the user-code runs in a second thread. The Problem with this
approach is that there seems to be no possibility for one Python-thread
to kill another.
I don't want the user to have to check fo a stop condition himself either.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Dirk
