AOP would be a quite elegant way set timeouts for functions, in my
opinion. The nice thing in it is that, in principle, you can write a

to timeout.
I wrote timeout_advice.py to demonstrate this a couple of years ago

I have a problem and I don't know where to start looking for a solution.
I have a class that needs to call an arbitrary function and wait for a
result. The function, being completely arbitrary and not under my control,
may be very time consuming and possibly may not even halt. My class needs
to be
