Is there a way to "kill" a thread that is currently asleep?

Can I stop, destroy, suspend, etc. a thread that is asleep?

You can use the Event class:

"Python's Thread class supports a subset of the behavior of Java's 
Thread class; currently, there are no priorities, no thread groups, 
and 
threads cannot be destroyed, stopped, suspended, resumed, or 
interrupted...."
