This solution kills the process tree in case of shell=True, passes parameters to the process (or not), has a timeout and gets the stdout, stderr and process output of the call back (it uses psutil for the kill_proc_tree). This was based on several solutions posted in SO including jcollado's. Posting in response to comments by Anson and jradice in jcollado's answer. Tested in Windows Srvr 2012 and Ubuntu 14.04. Please note that for Ubuntu you need to change the parent.children(...) call to parent.get_children(...).

我有一个问题，我想终止一个多线程子进程，如果它花费的时间超过给定的超时长度。我想在Popen()中设置一个超时，但它不起作用。然后，我意识到Popen().wait()等于call()，所以我有了在.wait(timeout=xxx)方法中设置超时的想法，这最终工作了。因此，我是这样解决的:

import os
import sys
import signal
import subprocess
from multiprocessing import Pool

cores_for_parallelization = 4
timeout_time = 15  # seconds

def main():
    jobs = [...YOUR_JOB_LIST...]
    with Pool(cores_for_parallelization) as p:
        p.map(run_parallel_jobs, jobs)

def run_parallel_jobs(args):
    # Define the arguments including the paths
    initial_terminal_command = 'C:\\Python34\\python.exe'  # Python executable
    function_to_start = 'C:\\temp\\xyz.py'  # The multithreading script
    final_list = [initial_terminal_command, function_to_start]
    final_list.extend(args)

    # Start the subprocess and determine the process PID
    subp = subprocess.Popen(final_list)  # starts the process
    pid = subp.pid

    # Wait until the return code returns from the function by considering the timeout. 
    # If not, terminate the process.
    try:
        returncode = subp.wait(timeout=timeout_time)  # should be zero if accomplished
    except subprocess.TimeoutExpired:
        # Distinguish between Linux and Windows and terminate the process if 
        # the timeout has been expired
        if sys.platform == 'linux2':
            os.kill(pid, signal.SIGTERM)
        elif sys.platform == 'win32':
            subp.terminate()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

在Python 3.7.8中超时测试后捕获的输出示例:

try:
    return subprocess.run(command, shell=True, capture_output=True, timeout=20, cwd=cwd, universal_newlines=True)
except subprocess.TimeoutExpired as e:
    print(e.output.decode(encoding="utf-8", errors="ignore"))
    assert False;

异常子进程。TimeoutExpired有输出和其他成员:

cmd -用于生成子进程的命令。 timeout -超时时间，单位为秒。 output -子进程的输出，如果它是由run()或 check_output()。否则,没有。 stdout -输出的别名，用于与stderr对称。 stderr -子进程的stderr输出，如果它被捕获 run()。否则,没有。

我已经实现了我能从其中一些收集到的东西。这适用于Windows，因为这是一个社区维基，我想我也会分享我的代码:

class Command(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self, cmd, outFile, errFile, timeout):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)
        self.cmd = cmd
        self.process = None
        self.outFile = outFile
        self.errFile = errFile
        self.timed_out = False
        self.timeout = timeout

    def run(self):
        self.process = subprocess.Popen(self.cmd, stdout = self.outFile, \
            stderr = self.errFile)

        while (self.process.poll() is None and self.timeout > 0):
            time.sleep(1)
            self.timeout -= 1

        if not self.timeout > 0:
            self.process.terminate()
            self.timed_out = True
        else:
            self.timed_out = False

然后从另一个类或文件:

        outFile =  tempfile.SpooledTemporaryFile()
        errFile =   tempfile.SpooledTemporaryFile()

        executor = command.Command(c, outFile, errFile, timeout)
        executor.daemon = True
        executor.start()

        executor.join()
        if executor.timed_out:
            out = 'timed out'
        else:
            outFile.seek(0)
            errFile.seek(0)
            out = outFile.read()
            err = errFile.read()

        outFile.close()
        errFile.close()

我对底层细节了解不多;但是，考虑到这一点 python 2.6的API提供了等待线程和的能力 终止进程，那么在一个单独的进程中运行该进程呢 的线程吗?

import subprocess, threading

class Command(object):
    def __init__(self, cmd):
        self.cmd = cmd
        self.process = None

    def run(self, timeout):
        def target():
            print 'Thread started'
            self.process = subprocess.Popen(self.cmd, shell=True)
            self.process.communicate()
            print 'Thread finished'

        thread = threading.Thread(target=target)
        thread.start()

        thread.join(timeout)
        if thread.is_alive():
            print 'Terminating process'
            self.process.terminate()
            thread.join()
        print self.process.returncode

command = Command("echo 'Process started'; sleep 2; echo 'Process finished'")
command.run(timeout=3)
command.run(timeout=1)

这段代码在我的机器中的输出是:

Thread started
Process started
Process finished
Thread finished
0
Thread started
Process started
Terminating process
Thread finished
-15

在哪里可以看到，在第一次执行的过程 正确完成(返回代码0)，而在第二个 进程被终止(返回代码-15)。

我没有在windows中测试;但是，除了更新示例之外 命令，我想它应该工作，因为我还没有找到 记录任何说明该线程的内容。Join或process.terminate 不支持。
