The cross-platform 3.4 asyncio module has some functions with
timeouts.
Even that doesn't forcefully interrupt an obnoxious blocking function
call like
time.sleep(10000)
A blocking call - granted. But what happens in a blocking loop, i.e.
for i in range(10000000000000000000000000):
pass
?
My understanding of async is that it creates an event loop. In which
case the loop has no chance to run within a block of code that computes
anything, is that correct? Or does it hook into the interpreter and is
able to interrupt the program between bytecodes?
I'm thinking the only portable way is to run a watchdog process with
subprocess or multiprocessing.
What about a thread which calls exit() after the timeout? Does that
forcefully kill the whole process?
