This code gives you a bit more control as it doesn't just force a system
exit, but allows you to continue some other work after aborting the
loop:
import signal, os
from threading import Timer
signalcode = signal.SIGALRM
class AlarmError(Exception):
pass
def handler(signum, frame):
raise AlarmError, "command lasts too long"
signal.signal(signalcode, handler)
def interrupt():
os.kill(os.getpid(), signalcode)
def execute(function, timeout):
Timer(timeout, interrupt).start()
try:
function()
except AlarmError, e:
print e
print 'Execution aborted'
def long_function():
while True:
pass
print "The everlasting command"
execute(long_function, 10)
print "The End"
