stop/terminate flask outside request context

[ghost]

is it possible to stop flask outside request context ? as i know there's no way for it .

maybe a function( stop() ) that changes a flag( shutdown_signal=False ==> True ) for werkzeug that stops server for listening on new connections ?
i can contribute on making this feature if you allow me ...

Why do you want this? app.run() is only meant for development anyway - and there you could simpy os.kill() the process if you want to terminate it.

i am developing a thing that use flask in another thread (maybe i should bring it to main one) ... i should try os.kill() i guess ...

Using app.run()? Sound like a bad idea.

what about using cherrypy server since werkzeug is only for development ?
