How to terminate stream properly?

[gohkokhan]

I am building a Twitter monitoring telegram bot. User can send a command to stop the streaming at any time.
I am using 'return False' to terminate the stream as below:

class MyStreamListener(tweepy.StreamListener):
    def on_data(self, data):
        if _FINISH:
            return False

The problem I am facing is that the stream only gets terminated when new data is coming in. Sometimes, user stops the stream, updates the filtering rule, and starts the stream again. It causes two streams to run simultaneously.

This sounds like #773, which has been resolved with 37e701e in the latest development version on the master branch, set to be released as part of v4.0.
