In this case, your threads don’t even seem to be doing anything useful. Why not skip all the threads and just spawn all the processes in your main loop? Then after getting the SIGINT, send that signal to all your processes, and then do a bunch of os.waitpid calls to clean them all up. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
