import kthread
import sys
from kthread_sleep import sleep
def func():
    try:
        sleep(2000000)
    finally:
        sys.stdout.write("Greetings from Vice City!\n")
        sys.stdout.flush()

t = kthread.KThread(target = func, name = "KillableThread1")
t.start()
sleep(.1)
print(t.is_alive())
t.kill()
sleep(.1)
print(t.is_alive())
