Hi Frank,

If the loop actually does something, I've used time.time() in the past:
start_time = time.time()
timeout = 60 #seconds
while True:
do_something()
if time.time() - start_time >= timeout:
break
time.time() just keeps increasing as it reports the system's clock (in
UNIX epoch time, just increasing seconds)
Hope that helps,
Hugo
