It looks like the `_thread` module does not actually expose `PyThread_exit_thread` --- the similarly named `thread_PyThread_exit_thread` just raises SystemExit. >From a search in the codebase, it appears `PyThread_exit_thread` is currently >used only to kill threads when they attempt to acquire the GIL during >finalization. Also, if it is changed to no longer kill the thread, it would probably make sense to rename it, e.g. to `PyThread_stop_thread_during_finalization`. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue42969> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
