I don't know. I have no access to Python on Windows. Maybe there is
setitimer support on Windows. Or maybe you can use the threading.Timer
object, like this:
import signal, os
import threading
signalcode = signal.SIGALRM # on Windows, choose one that exists there.
class AlarmError(Exception):
pass
def interrupt():
os.kill(os.getpid(), signalcode)
def execute(command, timeout):
threading.Timer(timeout, interrupt).start()
try:
exec(command)
except AlarmError, e:
print e
print 'Aborted "%s"' % (command,)
print "continue work"
print "The everlasting command"
execute("while 1: pass", 10)
print "The End"
