As Roggisch suggests, the cleanest way is if the thread kills itself 
once signaled by an exit condition. However, there is a non-orthodox way 
of pseudo-forcibly killing threads by catching the kill signal in a 
traceback. This method is summed up in Connelly Barnes's informal 
KThread module:
http://www.google.com/groups?q=KThread+group:comp.lang.python&hl=en&lr=&selm=mailman.225.1083634398.25742.python-list%40python.org&rnum=1

Note it won't work in all cases, as it can't kill a thread that's made a 
blocking system call. However, it may come in useful.
