Hi Heungsub,

Two options as far I as I can see:

1. Instead of having a blocking wait(), perhaps have it wait with a timeout?

2. Why don't you check out txAMQP, if you're doing amqp stuff - it has
native integration into Twisted. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/txAMQP

Keep in mind that if you set the thread as a daemon thread, the thread isn't
actually "killed", there just isn't a join() called, so it gets claimed by
the OS. This may be no different to what you want, but it's useful to keep
it in mind.
