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()

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

在pypi上找到的stopit包似乎可以很好地处理超时。

我喜欢@stopit。Threading_timeoutable装饰器，它向被装饰的函数添加了一个超时参数，该参数执行您所期望的操作，它将停止该函数。

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()

超时装饰器不能在Windows系统上工作，因为Windows不太支持信号。

如果你在windows系统中使用超时装饰器，你会得到以下结果

AttributeError: module 'signal' has no attribute 'SIGALRM'

有些人建议使用use_signals=False，但对我没用。

作者@bitranox创建了以下包:

pip install https://github.com/bitranox/wrapt-timeout-decorator/archive/master.zip

代码示例:

import time
from wrapt_timeout_decorator import *

@timeout(5)
def mytest(message):
    print(message)
    for i in range(1,10):
        time.sleep(1)
        print('{} seconds have passed'.format(i))

def main():
    mytest('starting')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

给出以下例外:

TimeoutError: Function mytest timed out after 5 seconds
