i have a small python application with GUI (frontend) which has

When the user presses RUN again then the python script should resume

Any ideas how to pause the thread / pause execfile() . Any other ideas

I think you can do that with a threading.event(). In the gui, create
a new threading.event() and pass it in to the worker thread. Set up
your code in the worker so that on every iteration of work
to implement a PAUSE feature which would pause the running
python script . So do that i have to either pause the thread in which
execfile() runs or pause execfile itself .

Other ideas ? You could use job control signals if you are on unix. Try
forking a child process instead of using a thread. Sending SIGSTOP to
the forked

As far as the calling instance of the Python interpreter is concerned,
calling execfile (or any C function) is an atomic action. You need to
rewrite the code in the file executed to have it monitor a semaphore.
