processes allow terminate()
processes also require implementation of ipc (inter process communication) - Is this the way to go?
Since function calls are executed in seperate threads it should be possible to terminate an executing function by terminating the corresponding thread.
This however needs some more investigation: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/323972/is-there-any-way-to-kill-a-thread-in-python
