This uses flags and signals to terminate the infinite loop
#!/usr/bin/env python
import signal
import sys
import time
import random
from threading import Thread
class C1:
def __init__(self):
signal.signal(signal.SIGINT,self.signal_handler)
self.keepgoing = True
self.list = list()
def infinite_loop(self):
while self.keepgoing:
self.list.append(random.randint(1,10))
time.sleep(2)
def signal_handler(self, sig, frame):
print('You pressed Ctrl+C!')
self.keepgoing = False
class C2:
def __init__(self):
print('inside C2 init')
self.c1 = C1()
def main(self):
self.bg_th = Thread(target=self.c1.infinite_loop)
self.bg_th.start()
def disp(self):
print(self.c1.list)
c2 = C2()
c2.main()
time.sleep(2)
c2.disp()
c2.bg_th.join()
