突出了

引发TimeoutError使用异常在超时时发出警报-可以很容易地修改 跨平台:Windows和Mac OS X 兼容性:Python 3.6+(我也在Python 2.7上进行了测试，它可以在很小的语法调整下工作)

有关平行地图的完整解释和扩展，请参见https://flipdazed.github.io/blog/quant%20dev/parallel-functions-with-timeouts

最小的例子

>>> @killer_call(timeout=4)
... def bar(x):
...        import time
...        time.sleep(x)
...        return x
>>> bar(10)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
__main__.TimeoutError: function 'bar' timed out after 4s

正如预期的那样

>>> bar(2)
2

import multiprocessing as mp
import multiprocessing.queues as mpq
import functools
import dill

from typing import Tuple, Callable, Dict, Optional, Iterable, List, Any

class TimeoutError(Exception):

    def __init__(self, func: Callable, timeout: int):
        self.t = timeout
        self.fname = func.__name__

    def __str__(self):
            return f"function '{self.fname}' timed out after {self.t}s"


def _lemmiwinks(func: Callable, args: Tuple, kwargs: Dict[str, Any], q: mp.Queue):
    """lemmiwinks crawls into the unknown"""
    q.put(dill.loads(func)(*args, **kwargs))


def killer_call(func: Callable = None, timeout: int = 10) -> Callable:
    """
    Single function call with a timeout

    Args:
        func: the function
        timeout: The timeout in seconds
    """

    if not isinstance(timeout, int):
        raise ValueError(f'timeout needs to be an int. Got: {timeout}')

    if func is None:
        return functools.partial(killer_call, timeout=timeout)

    @functools.wraps(killer_call)
    def _inners(*args, **kwargs) -> Any:
        q_worker = mp.Queue()
        proc = mp.Process(target=_lemmiwinks, args=(dill.dumps(func), args, kwargs, q_worker))
        proc.start()
        try:
            return q_worker.get(timeout=timeout)
        except mpq.Empty:
            raise TimeoutError(func, timeout)
        finally:
            try:
                proc.terminate()
            except:
                pass
    return _inners

if __name__ == '__main__':
    @killer_call(timeout=4)
    def bar(x):
        import time
        time.sleep(x)
        return x

    print(bar(2))
    bar(10)

笔记

由于dill的工作方式，您需要在函数内部导入。

这也意味着如果目标函数中有导入，这些函数可能与doctest不兼容。你将会遇到__import__未找到的问题。

有很多建议，但没有一个是使用并发的。期货，我认为这是最清晰的处理方式。

from concurrent.futures import ProcessPoolExecutor

# Warning: this does not terminate function if timeout
def timeout_five(fnc, *args, **kwargs):
    with ProcessPoolExecutor() as p:
        f = p.submit(fnc, *args, **kwargs)
        return f.result(timeout=5)

超级简单的阅读和维护。

我们创建一个池，提交一个进程，然后等待5秒，然后引发一个TimeoutError，你可以根据需要捕获和处理它。

本机为python 3.2+，并反向移植到2.7 (pip install futures)。

线程和进程之间的切换非常简单，只需将ProcessPoolExecutor替换为ThreadPoolExecutor。

如果您想在超时时终止进程，我建议您查看Pebble。

在@piro答案的基础上，您可以构建一个contextmanager。这允许非常易读的代码，将在成功运行后禁用警报信号(sets signal.alarm(0))

from contextlib import contextmanager
import signal
import time

@contextmanager
def timeout(duration):
    def timeout_handler(signum, frame):
        raise TimeoutError(f'block timedout after {duration} seconds')
    signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, timeout_handler)
    signal.alarm(duration)
    try:
        yield
    finally:
        signal.alarm(0)

def sleeper(duration):
    time.sleep(duration)
    print('finished')

使用示例:

In [19]: with timeout(2):
    ...:     sleeper(1)
    ...:     
finished

In [20]: with timeout(2):
    ...:     sleeper(3)
    ...:

      5     signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, timeout_handler)
      6     signal.alarm(duration)

Exception: block timedout after 2 seconds

#!/usr/bin/python2
import sys, subprocess, threading
proc = subprocess.Popen(sys.argv[2:])
timer = threading.Timer(float(sys.argv[1]), proc.terminate)
timer.start()
proc.wait()
timer.cancel()
exit(proc.returncode)

你可以使用多处理。过程来做到这一点。

Code

import multiprocessing
import time

# bar
def bar():
    for i in range(100):
        print "Tick"
        time.sleep(1)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Start bar as a process
    p = multiprocessing.Process(target=bar)
    p.start()

    # Wait for 10 seconds or until process finishes
    p.join(10)

    # If thread is still active
    if p.is_alive():
        print "running... let's kill it..."

        # Terminate - may not work if process is stuck for good
        p.terminate()
        # OR Kill - will work for sure, no chance for process to finish nicely however
        # p.kill()

        p.join()

下面是一个简单的例子，运行一个带有timeout的方法，并在成功时检索它的值。

import multiprocessing
import time

ret = {"foo": False}


def worker(queue):
    """worker function"""

    ret = queue.get()

    time.sleep(1)

    ret["foo"] = True
    queue.put(ret)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    queue = multiprocessing.Queue()
    queue.put(ret)

    p = multiprocessing.Process(target=worker, args=(queue,))
    p.start()
    p.join(timeout=10)

    if p.exitcode is None:
        print("The worker timed out.")
    else:
        print(f"The worker completed and returned: {queue.get()}")
