You need to send a STOP_RECORDING command to the backend, but it looks 
like this one hasn't been abstracted by the Python bindings.  So, you 
could do it with a backendCommand, but--better--would be to add support 
for stopRecording to the bindings and submit a patch.  It should be 
relatively straightforward to add using, for example, forgetRecording as 
a template.
