Note that, unlike the original alarm code, it doesn't really interrupt the timed-out method, it just returns the control back to the caller, using an exception to mark that a timeout occurred. The "timed out" code is still merrily running in the background. I don't know if it's a problem in your case, but it's an important drawback. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
