How can a Thread be stopped in python without using join?
Example:

from threading import Thread
class Test:
    def __init__(self):
        self.run=True
        Thread(target=self.test).start()
    def test(self):
        #something

Answer 1

The thread cannot be stopped. You can constantly check the stop point in the loop and stop the task if it is active. But the only way to kill a thread is to terminate the program.
