DataSift - python api - how do you stop a stream?

Question

When I want to start listening to a stream on DataSift I use start_stream_subscriber()

But how do I stop listening to the stream?

I found no method in the API that stops a stream, and thus stopping DataSift from billing me.

Are you referring to this library? https://github.com/datasift/datasift-python — jsalonen, May 25 '14 at 20:39

You can register callback method that listens for stream closing with on_closed.

but how do I close the stream? How can I trigger the stop? – Ryan May 25 '14 at 20:50
I think you cannot trigger the close. Its defined as a callback method because it is triggered by the library. – jsalonen May 25 '14 at 20:53
and can't you somehow say that you are not interested in receiving data anymore? – Ryan May 25 '14 at 21:04
Why you would need to do that? E.g. what are you trying to accomplish with that? – jsalonen May 25 '14 at 21:05
I have a background thread which starts the stream and after 1 hour it needs to stop – Ryan May 26 '14 at 06:09
