Hello,

As far as I know it’s not possible in python, they exit after they did their job. You can try to set a global flag if you’re in a loop though. See this page in the wiki: http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/LongRunningTasks

Maybe instead of threads you can use a wxProcess.
Probably these are killable.

You can't in Python. The thread has to choose to stop
itself. You can set a variable to tell it to stop,
or you can set it as a deamon thread (see the doc).

a daemon thread keeps working after the app has exited right?!

A daemon thread will exit when it's finished its program steps. Also if there are only daemon threads running in the program then the program will exit killing all threads.
