Hi there,
I have this, say timeTol = 5 (5 seconds) and 'cmd' takes minutes to execute
:
import subprocess as sub
...
p = sub.Popen(cmd, shell=True, stderr = sub.STDOUT, stdout =
sub.PIPE)
pid = p.pid
signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, signal_handler)
signal.alarm(timeTol)
And it works on python 2.x.
However, on python 3.x, the signal_handler is only called when 'p =
sub.Popen...' has finished (after minutes) and signal.alarm appears to not
be called at 5 sec. Can someone please explain me this behaviour and how to
solve this?
Many thanks in advance,
Alan
