I am using the thread module and calling thread.start_new_thread

t.terminate, I get "AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute
'terminate'"

Use the threading module instead, that provides a higher level interface. If you originally had:

thread.start_new_thread(function, args)

then it becomes:

polling_thread = threading.Thread(target=function, args=args)
...
polling_thread.start()

What is the proper way to do this?  I don't want to use globals as I
will have multiple child windows of various classes.

Use an attribute of this Thread instance. Either a simple boolean or a Condition/Event object as Christian Heimes suggested.
