Interrupting execution of PyRun_SimpleScript()
Hi, Im am using PyRun_SimpleString() inside a BCB 5.0 GUI app on win32. All works fine. The PyRun_SimpleStript() runs a piece of python code which calls often a callback function to refresh my gui App so my Form still can react to user input. Now, I would like to implement a possibility to interrupt the execution. For this I have a button called "stop", and when the user executes it, I generate an exeption by calling: PyRun_SimpleString("raise KeyboardInterrupt\n"). I see in the window where I redirected stderr and stdout the exception, but the original code (a for loop) still continues to run. Does there somebody have some idea (in the Python FAQ i didnT find anything) Thanks Anton -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

The fact that your GUI can call SimpleString implies to me that Python is running with multiple threads. The string is executed in a different thread from your other thread. The exception isn't being called from the right thread. Instead it's caught by the top-level exception handler for the GUI, which reports the error. Is it possible to put an explicit "check this variable and if it's true then abort" in your time-intensive code? Andrew [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
