Description
Hi,
I made a simple sample that:
- Start a C++ thread
- Execute python code with pybind11 in the thread created
- Check if "stopped" variable is true and interrupt execution
Sample:
https://github.com/prsolucoes/pybind11-test/blob/master/src/cpp/main.cpp#L26-L35
The problem:
The line "py::exec(content);" block thread execution and i need that it stop run when "stopped" variable is "true".
Question:
How can i execute the python code and stop it while it is running correctly?
Thanks.

Research direction
Start with the linked sample at src/cpp/main.cpp#L26-L35 and inspect how py::exec(content) runs in the created C++ thread. Research pybind11's execution and interruption behavior, including the stopped flag, then determine what a correct user-controlled stop would require.
