Hi, Grabbing the various docs of Python, I didn't find how to do this :
I Use popen2 to run wvware that transforms lots of M$ word docs to plain text. Sometimes wvware runs in a deadlock and I can't control this from Python app. I need to stop wvware processing after 30 seconds (considered deadlocked) and to process the next file. Unfortunately, I didn't find any pythonic stuff to control the time spent runnning subprocesses (and kill'em if needed) launched with popen. An hint is welcome. Many thanks by advance. -- Gilles Lenfant -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
