How to kill python thread

wxPython Users

hi,
I just developed one application. The front end is in wxpython and back end is python script. The script is calculating some ascii file and generating it into the jpeg image. The script is depends on the input given. So the script might last for 1 hours also. My program has two separate thread one for GUI and another for python script. My gui is initiating the python script . It is going well. But there is button on GUI that stops the backend script. Whenever i press this stop button my script is not stopping. And i have to restart the whole program. I dont know how to kill the python thread from the button.

So can any body tell me how to kill the python thread programmatically?
Thanks in advance,
Naish

You might try to borrow some idea from this Wiki page:
