I use Python 2.7.3 on Windows.
Well. Now, think that there is a python program. For example let's name as "program.py" and it is content of program.py:
import program2
class program(object):
def __init__(self):
...
... the jobs which program will do ...
...
def function(self): #we call it from __init__ function when it's time came
program2.start()
if __name__ == "__main__":
p = program()
There is a file in same folder with program.py which named as program2.py. Let's give a content for program2.py:
def start():
....
.... the jobs which program2.py will do ... # In this function we do jobs with while loops, threads etc.
....
def stop():
...
... program2.py closes itself here ...
...
Think that I ran program.py . After a while I want to close program.py and I pressed Ctrl+C. But the threads in program2.py is running still. I want a thing like that program2.py will run stop() function and close itself. So on, the program will close with its all of the connections (like program2.py) . How can I do it ?
I searched signal module to do it but I'm not working on Linux. I'm working on Windows and I can't use a lot of feature of signal module. I succeeded it by creating a file which is named as 'stop.txt'. I mean that when the program.py take Ctrl+C command, it creates a file 'stop.txt' and program2.py controls if there is a file named as stop.txt in that folder. When program.py creates the file, program2.py sees it and closes itself. But this method is primitive, I think. Is there a more secret method ?
Thanks.
