如何在Python中不使用loop-in-run方法终止线程？

Question

有一个方法很长的类。
为该方法创建线程。
如何杀死/终止此线程？
主要问题是，我无法检查threadrun（）方法中的threading.Event，因为它不包含循环。
类似代码如下：

import time
import threading

class LongAction:
    def time_consuming_action(self):
        tmax = 600
        for i in range(tmax):
            print i
            time.sleep(1)
        time.sleep(tmax)
        self.tmax = tmax
        return "Slept well"

class LongActionThread(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, la_object):
        self.la = la_object
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)

    def run(self):
        self.la.time_consuming_action()


la = LongAction()
la_thread = LongActionThread(la)
la_thread.start()

# After 5 sec i've changed my mind and trying to kill LongActionThread
time.sleep(5)
print "Trying to kill LongActionThread"
la_thread.kill()

此代码工作正常，但需要显式刷新标准输出中的数据。
还没有找到一种不冲洗指纹的方法。

import time
from multiprocessing.process import Process
import sys

class LongAction:
    def time_consuming_action(self):
        tmax = 600
        for i in range(tmax):
            print i
            time.sleep(1)
            sys.stdout.flush()
        time.sleep(tmax)
        self.tmax = tmax
        return "Slept well"
        sys.stdout.flush()

class LongActionThread(Process):
    def __init__(self, la_object):
        self.la = la_object
        Process.__init__(self)

    def run(self):
        self.la.time_consuming_action()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    la = LongAction()
    la_thread = LongActionThread(la)
    la_thread.start()

    # After 5 sec i've changed my mind and trying to kill LongActionThread
    time.sleep(5)
    print "Trying to kill LongActionThread"
    la_thread.terminate()
