Ok, so is there any way to stop all the threads if the keyboard interrupt
is received?
You can't stop a thread from outside. The thread has to end itself (by
ending the function). Usually, in the thread, you will check the value
of a variable. If it's false, then it's time to stop and head to the end
of the function.
# global, or better use a Quit sentinel in a Queue
import time, sys
from threading import Thread
running = True
def do_work():
while True:
time.sleep(1)
print(".", end="")
sys.stdout.flush()
if running == False:
break
print('thread ended')
def go():
global running
threads = [Thread(target=do_work, args=()) for _ in range(2)]
for t in threads:
t.start()
try:
while running:
time.sleep(1)
running = any(t.is_alive() for t in threads)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
running = False
