如果你使用选项stream=True，你可以这样做:

r = requests.get(
    'http://url_to_large_file',
    timeout=1,  # relevant only for underlying socket
    stream=True)

with open('/tmp/out_file.txt'), 'wb') as f:
    start_time = time.time()
    for chunk in r.iter_content(chunk_size=1024):
        if chunk:  # filter out keep-alive new chunks
            f.write(chunk)
        if time.time() - start_time > 8:
            raise Exception('Request took longer than 8s')

该解决方案不需要信号或多处理。

有一个叫做timeout-decorator的包，你可以用它让任何python函数超时。

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

它使用这里的一些答案所建议的信号方法。或者，你可以告诉它使用多处理而不是信号(例如，如果你在多线程环境中)。

我相信你可以使用多处理，而不依赖于第三方包:

import multiprocessing
import requests

def call_with_timeout(func, args, kwargs, timeout):
    manager = multiprocessing.Manager()
    return_dict = manager.dict()

    # define a wrapper of `return_dict` to store the result.
    def function(return_dict):
        return_dict['value'] = func(*args, **kwargs)

    p = multiprocessing.Process(target=function, args=(return_dict,))
    p.start()

    # Force a max. `timeout` or wait for the process to finish
    p.join(timeout)

    # If thread is still active, it didn't finish: raise TimeoutError
    if p.is_alive():
        p.terminate()
        p.join()
        raise TimeoutError
    else:
        return return_dict['value']

call_with_timeout(requests.get, args=(url,), kwargs={'timeout': 10}, timeout=60)

传递给kwargs的超时是从服务器获取任何响应的超时，参数timeout是获取完整响应的超时。

设置stream=True并使用r.iter_content(1024)。是的,eventlet。我就是不喜欢超时。

try:
    start = time()
    timeout = 5
    with get(config['source']['online'], stream=True, timeout=timeout) as r:
        r.raise_for_status()
        content = bytes()
        content_gen = r.iter_content(1024)
        while True:
            if time()-start > timeout:
                raise TimeoutError('Time out! ({} seconds)'.format(timeout))
            try:
                content += next(content_gen)
            except StopIteration:
                break
        data = content.decode().split('\n')
        if len(data) in [0, 1]:
            raise ValueError('Bad requests data')
except (exceptions.RequestException, ValueError, IndexError, KeyboardInterrupt,
        TimeoutError) as e:
    print(e)
    with open(config['source']['local']) as f:
        data = [line.strip() for line in f.readlines()]

讨论在这里https://redd.it/80kp1h

更新:https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/master/user/advanced/超时

在新版本的请求:

如果你为超时指定一个单独的值，像这样:

r = requests.get('https://github.com', timeout=5)

超时值将应用于连接超时和读取超时。如果你想分别设置值，请指定一个元组:

r = requests.get('https://github.com', timeout=(3.05, 27))

如果远程服务器非常慢，您可以告诉Requests永远等待响应，方法是将None作为超时值，然后检索一杯咖啡。

r = requests.get('https://github.com', timeout=None)

我以前的答案(可能已经过时了)(很久以前贴出来的):

还有其他方法可以克服这个问题:

1. 使用TimeoutSauce内部类

来自:https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/1928 # issuecomment - 35811896

import requests from requests.adapters import TimeoutSauce class MyTimeout(TimeoutSauce): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): connect = kwargs.get('connect', 5) read = kwargs.get('read', connect) super(MyTimeout, self).__init__(connect=connect, read=read) requests.adapters.TimeoutSauce = MyTimeout This code should cause us to set the read timeout as equal to the connect timeout, which is the timeout value you pass on your Session.get() call. (Note that I haven't actually tested this code, so it may need some quick debugging, I just wrote it straight into the GitHub window.)

2. 使用kevinburke请求的分支:https://github.com/kevinburke/requests/tree/connect-timeout

从它的文档:https://github.com/kevinburke/requests/blob/connect-timeout/docs/user/advanced.rst

如果你为超时指定一个单独的值，像这样: R = requests.get('https://github.com'， timeout=5) 超时值将应用于连接和读取 超时。如果要设置值，请指定一个元组 另外: R = requests.get('https://github.com'， timeout=(3.05, 27))

Kevinburke已请求将其合并到主要请求项目中，但尚未被接受。

只是另一个解决方案(从http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#streaming-uploads获得)

在上传之前，你可以找出内容大小:

TOO_LONG = 10*1024*1024  # 10 Mb
big_url = "http://ipv4.download.thinkbroadband.com/1GB.zip"
r = requests.get(big_url, stream=True)
print (r.headers['content-length'])
# 1073741824  

if int(r.headers['content-length']) < TOO_LONG:
    # upload content:
    content = r.content

但是要小心，发送方可以在“content-length”响应字段中设置不正确的值。
