Is there any way to kill a Thread?

Yes, there are a few ways to kill a thread in Python. One way is to use the .join() method with a timeout parameter. The timeout parameter tells the thread to stop running after a certain amount of time. If the thread is still running after the timeout has expired, it will be killed.

import threading
import time

def my_function():
    print("Thread is running")
    time.sleep(10)
    print("Thread is done")

my_thread = threading.Thread(target=my_function)
my_thread.start()
my_thread.join(5)
print("Thread is killed")

In this example, the thread will run for 5 seconds and then be killed.

Another way is to use the .setDaemon(True) method, which sets the thread as a daemon thread, which means that it will automatically be terminated when the main program exits.

my_thread = threading.Thread(target=my_function)
my_thread.setDaemon(True)
my_thread.start()

Note that it is not recommended to use .stop() or ._stop() to stop a thread because it can cause issues with the interpreter's internal data structures.
