How to respond to exceptions in a thread in python

Question

I have some code running in a thread that I need to respond to any exceptions within the calling thread. How would I find out if there are any exceptions and just reboot the child thread?

You would have to terminate/join the child-process in the try/except/finaly-block of the parent thread and afterwards reinvoke it.

Link to an older SO-post, which discusses the "killing" of a thread.

Is there any example code that I could see on how to implement this? – Jonny Flowers Jul 06 '12 at 10:11

you can get exception with sth like this:

def run(self):
        while True:                
            try: #yourThread
            except Exception, e: print e

and for restarting a child check out this answer here.
