Set the daemon flag on the worker threads, so when the main thread

Interesting idea, and I did not know that a *thread* could be a
daemon.
Unfortunately, I think what you suggest would kill the threads stone
dead and not allow them to close connections.
Can you stick your worker threads into a Queue. When the main thread
exits
have it tell the queue to clean itself up?
see:
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/82965-threads-tkinter-and-asynchronous-io/
The main thread doesn't have to be a gui ...
(but the author of that recipe and I are now drunkly celebrating a
birthday
so maybe I ought not to be posting this idea ...)
:-)
I am not sure. The polling every 100ms or similar in periodicCall() is
something I want to avoid. I think I have a way to do this without any
polling.
