如果工作没有完成，我打算杀死进程，使用线程和进程来实现这一点。

from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor

from time import sleep
import multiprocessing


# test case 1
def worker_1(a,b,c):
    for _ in range(2):
        print('very time consuming sleep')
        sleep(1)

    return a+b+c

# test case 2
def worker_2(in_name):
    for _ in range(10):
        print('very time consuming sleep')
        sleep(1)

    return 'hello '+in_name

作为上下文管理器的实际类

class FuncTimer():
    def __init__(self,fn,args,runtime):
        self.fn = fn
        self.args = args
        self.queue = multiprocessing.Queue()
        self.runtime = runtime
        self.process = multiprocessing.Process(target=self.thread_caller)

    def thread_caller(self):
        with ThreadPoolExecutor() as executor:
            future = executor.submit(self.fn, *self.args)
            self.queue.put(future.result())

    def  __enter__(self):
        return self

    def start_run(self):
        self.process.start()
        self.process.join(timeout=self.runtime)
        if self.process.exitcode is None:
            self.process.kill()
        if self.process.exitcode is None:
            out_res = None
            print('killed premature')
        else:
            out_res = self.queue.get()
        return out_res


    def __exit__(self, exc_type, exc_value, exc_traceback):
        self.process.kill()

如何使用

print('testing case 1') 
with FuncTimer(fn=worker_1,args=(1,2,3),runtime = 5) as fp: 
    res = fp.start_run()
    print(res)

print('testing case 2')
with FuncTimer(fn=worker_2,args=('ram',),runtime = 5) as fp: 
    res = fp.start_run()
    print(res)

我有一个不同的建议，这是一个纯函数(与线程建议相同的API)，似乎工作得很好(基于这个线程的建议)

def timeout(func, args=(), kwargs={}, timeout_duration=1, default=None):
    import signal

    class TimeoutError(Exception):
        pass

    def handler(signum, frame):
        raise TimeoutError()

    # set the timeout handler
    signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, handler) 
    signal.alarm(timeout_duration)
    try:
        result = func(*args, **kwargs)
    except TimeoutError as exc:
        result = default
    finally:
        signal.alarm(0)

    return result

asyncio的另一个解决方案:

如果你想取消后台任务，而不仅仅是在运行的主代码上超时，那么你需要一个来自主线程的显式通信，要求任务的代码取消，比如threading.Event()

import asyncio
import functools
import multiprocessing
from concurrent.futures.thread import ThreadPoolExecutor


class SingletonTimeOut:
    pool = None

    @classmethod
    def run(cls, to_run: functools.partial, timeout: float):
        pool = cls.get_pool()
        loop = cls.get_loop()
        try:
            task = loop.run_in_executor(pool, to_run)
            return loop.run_until_complete(asyncio.wait_for(task, timeout=timeout))
        except asyncio.TimeoutError as e:
            error_type = type(e).__name__ #TODO
            raise e

    @classmethod
    def get_pool(cls):
        if cls.pool is None:
            cls.pool = ThreadPoolExecutor(multiprocessing.cpu_count())
        return cls.pool

    @classmethod
    def get_loop(cls):
        try:
            return asyncio.get_event_loop()
        except RuntimeError:
            asyncio.set_event_loop(asyncio.new_event_loop())
            # print("NEW LOOP" + str(threading.current_thread().ident))
            return asyncio.get_event_loop()

# ---------------

TIME_OUT = float('0.2')  # seconds

def toto(input_items,nb_predictions):
    return 1

to_run = functools.partial(toto,
                           input_items=1,
                           nb_predictions="a")

results = SingletonTimeOut.run(to_run, TIME_OUT)

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()

我也遇到过同样的问题，但我的情况是需要在子线程上工作，信号不适合我，所以我写了一个python包:timeout-timer来解决这个问题，支持用作上下文或装饰器，使用信号或子线程模块来触发超时中断:

from timeout_timer import timeout, TimeoutInterrupt

class TimeoutInterruptNested(TimeoutInterrupt):
    pass

def test_timeout_nested_loop_both_timeout(timer="thread"):
    cnt = 0
    try:
        with timeout(5, timer=timer):
            try:
                with timeout(2, timer=timer, exception=TimeoutInterruptNested):
                    sleep(2)
            except TimeoutInterruptNested:
                cnt += 1
            time.sleep(10)
    except TimeoutInterrupt:
        cnt += 1
    assert cnt == 2

我需要一个不会被时间阻塞的可嵌套定时中断(SIGALARM不能做到)。Sleep(基于线程的方法不能做到)。我最终复制了这里的代码并对其进行了轻微修改:http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577600-queue-for-managing-multiple-sigalrm-alarms-concurr/
