New port devel/py-terminable_thread:

  terminable_thread provides a subclass of threading.Thread, adding
  the facility to raise exceptions in the context of the given
  thread.

  This facility is incorporated in the terminable_thread.Thread
  methods raise_exc, which raises an arbitrary exception, and
  terminate, which raises SystemExit.

  This is not done in an entirely robust manner, and there may be
  unreported issues with it.

  It uses the unexposed PyThreadState_SetAsyncExc function (via
  ctypes) to raise an exception for the given thread.
