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()}")

我怎么调用函数或者我怎么包装它，如果它超过5秒脚本取消它?

我发布了一个要点，用装饰器和threading.Timer解决了这个问题。下面是它的分类。

导入和设置兼容性

它是用Python 2和3测试的。它也应该在Unix/Linux和Windows下工作。

首先是进口。这些尝试保持代码的一致性，而不管Python版本:

from __future__ import print_function
import sys
import threading
from time import sleep
try:
    import thread
except ImportError:
    import _thread as thread

使用版本独立代码:

try:
    range, _print = xrange, print
    def print(*args, **kwargs): 
        flush = kwargs.pop('flush', False)
        _print(*args, **kwargs)
        if flush:
            kwargs.get('file', sys.stdout).flush()            
except NameError:
    pass

现在我们已经从标准库导入了我们的功能。

exit_after装饰

接下来，我们需要一个函数来终止子线程的main():

def quit_function(fn_name):
    # print to stderr, unbuffered in Python 2.
    print('{0} took too long'.format(fn_name), file=sys.stderr)
    sys.stderr.flush() # Python 3 stderr is likely buffered.
    thread.interrupt_main() # raises KeyboardInterrupt

这是decorator本身:

def exit_after(s):
    '''
    use as decorator to exit process if 
    function takes longer than s seconds
    '''
    def outer(fn):
        def inner(*args, **kwargs):
            timer = threading.Timer(s, quit_function, args=[fn.__name__])
            timer.start()
            try:
                result = fn(*args, **kwargs)
            finally:
                timer.cancel()
            return result
        return inner
    return outer

使用

下面这个用法直接回答了你关于5秒后退出的问题!：

@exit_after(5)
def countdown(n):
    print('countdown started', flush=True)
    for i in range(n, -1, -1):
        print(i, end=', ', flush=True)
        sleep(1)
    print('countdown finished')

演示:

>>> countdown(3)
countdown started
3, 2, 1, 0, countdown finished
>>> countdown(10)
countdown started
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, countdown took too long
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 11, in inner
  File "<stdin>", line 6, in countdown
KeyboardInterrupt

第二个函数调用将不会结束，相反，进程应该退出并返回一个跟踪!

KeyboardInterrupt并不总是停止一个睡眠线程

注意，在Windows上的Python 2中，睡眠并不总是被键盘中断中断，例如:

@exit_after(1)
def sleep10():
    sleep(10)
    print('slept 10 seconds')

>>> sleep10()
sleep10 took too long         # Note that it hangs here about 9 more seconds
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 11, in inner
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in sleep10
KeyboardInterrupt

它也不可能中断扩展中运行的代码，除非它显式地检查PyErr_CheckSignals()，参见忽略Cython, Python和KeyboardInterrupt

在任何情况下，我都会避免让线程休眠超过一秒钟——这在处理器时间上是一eon。

我怎么调用这个函数或者我把它包装在什么里面，这样如果它花费超过5秒脚本就会取消它并做其他事情?

要捕获它并做其他事情，你可以捕获KeyboardInterrupt。

>>> try:
...     countdown(10)
... except KeyboardInterrupt:
...     print('do something else')
... 
countdown started
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, countdown took too long
do something else

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

完整代码

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。

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

Tim Savannah的func_timeout包对我来说工作得很好。

安装:

PIP安装func_timeout

用法:

import time
from func_timeout import func_timeout, FunctionTimedOut

def my_func(n):
    time.sleep(n)

time_to_sleep = 10

# time out after 2 seconds using kwargs
func_timeout(2, my_func, kwargs={'n' : time_to_sleep})

# time out after 2 seconds using args
func_timeout(2, my_func, args=(time_to_sleep,))
