title: how to terminate a thread which calls the webbrowser in python
body: <p>I am developing an app which is linux based but right now I am facing as I have to call the webbrowser to do the further task but the problem is the program gets stuck and does not terminate. I have tried to terminate it using thread but it doesn't receive the interrupt and the thread runs infinitely ,below is the basic version of the code I was trying.Hope you got my problem ,</p>
  
  <pre><code>import time
  import threading
  import webbrowser
  
  class CountdownTask:
      def __init__(self):
          self._running = True
  
      def terminate(self):
          self._running = False
  
      def run(self):
          url='http://www.google.com'
          webbrowser.open(url,new=1)
  
  c = CountdownTask()
  t = threading.Thread(target=c.run)
  t.start()
  time.sleep(1)
  c.terminate() # Signal termination
  t.join()      # Wait for actual termination (if needed)
  </code></pre>
