python timeout
You may use the signal package if you are running on UNIX:
import signal
# Register an handler for the timeout
def handler(signum, frame):
print("Forever is over!")
raise Exception("end of time")
# This function *may* run for an indetermined time...
def loop_forever():
import time
while 1:
print("sec")
time.sleep(1)
# Register the signal function handler
signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, handler)
# Define a timeout for your function
signal.alarm(10)
0
try:
loop_forever()
except Exception, exc:
print(exc)
