我是wrapt_timeout_decorator的作者。

这里介绍的大多数解决方案乍一看在Linux下都工作得很好——因为我们有fork()和signals()——但在windows上看起来有点不同。 当涉及到Linux上的子线程时，你不能再使用信号了。

为了在Windows下生成一个进程，它需要是可pickle的——许多装饰函数或Class方法都不是。

所以你需要使用一个更好的pickler像莳萝和multiprocess(不是pickle和multiprocessing) -这就是为什么你不能使用ProcessPoolExecutor(或只有有限的功能)。

For the timeout itself - You need to define what timeout means - because on Windows it will take considerable (and not determinable) time to spawn the process. This can be tricky on short timeouts. Lets assume, spawning the process takes about 0.5 seconds (easily !!!). If You give a timeout of 0.2 seconds what should happen? Should the function time out after 0.5 + 0.2 seconds (so let the method run for 0.2 seconds)? Or should the called process time out after 0.2 seconds (in that case, the decorated function will ALWAYS timeout, because in that time it is not even spawned)?

嵌套的装饰器也很讨厌，你不能在子线程中使用信号。如果你想要创建一个真正通用的、跨平台的装饰器，所有这些都需要考虑(并测试)。

其他问题是将异常传递回调用者，以及记录问题(如果在装饰函数中使用-不支持记录到另一个进程中的文件)

我试图涵盖所有的边缘情况，您可以查看包wrapt_timeout_decorator，或者至少测试您自己的解决方案，受到那里使用的单元测试的启发。

@Alexis Eggermont -不幸的是，我没有足够的分数来评论-也许其他人可以通知你-我认为我解决了你的进口问题。

Tim Savannah的func_timeout包对我来说工作得很好。

安装:

PIP安装func_timeout

用法:

import time
from func_timeout import func_timeout, FunctionTimedOut

def my_func(n):
    time.sleep(n)

time_to_sleep = 10

# time out after 2 seconds using kwargs
func_timeout(2, my_func, kwargs={'n' : time_to_sleep})

# time out after 2 seconds using args
func_timeout(2, my_func, args=(time_to_sleep,))

下面是一个POSIX版本，它结合了前面的许多答案来提供以下特性:

子进程阻塞执行。 timeout函数在类成员函数上的使用。 严格要求终止时间。

下面是代码和一些测试用例:

import threading
import signal
import os
import time

class TerminateExecution(Exception):
    """
    Exception to indicate that execution has exceeded the preset running time.
    """


def quit_function(pid):
    # Killing all subprocesses
    os.setpgrp()
    os.killpg(0, signal.SIGTERM)

    # Killing the main thread
    os.kill(pid, signal.SIGTERM)


def handle_term(signum, frame):
    raise TerminateExecution()


def invoke_with_timeout(timeout, fn, *args, **kwargs):
    # Setting a sigterm handler and initiating a timer
    old_handler = signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, handle_term)
    timer = threading.Timer(timeout, quit_function, args=[os.getpid()])
    terminate = False

    # Executing the function
    timer.start()
    try:
        result = fn(*args, **kwargs)
    except TerminateExecution:
        terminate = True
    finally:
        # Restoring original handler and cancel timer
        signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, old_handler)
        timer.cancel()

    if terminate:
        raise BaseException("xxx")

    return result

### Test cases
def countdown(n):
    print('countdown started', flush=True)
    for i in range(n, -1, -1):
        print(i, end=', ', flush=True)
        time.sleep(1)
    print('countdown finished')
    return 1337


def really_long_function():
    time.sleep(10)


def really_long_function2():
    os.system("sleep 787")


# Checking that we can run a function as expected.
assert invoke_with_timeout(3, countdown, 1) == 1337

# Testing various scenarios
t1 = time.time()
try:
    print(invoke_with_timeout(1, countdown, 3))
    assert(False)
except BaseException:
    assert(time.time() - t1 < 1.1)
    print("All good", time.time() - t1)

t1 = time.time()
try:
    print(invoke_with_timeout(1, really_long_function2))
    assert(False)
except BaseException:
    assert(time.time() - t1 < 1.1)
    print("All good", time.time() - t1)


t1 = time.time()
try:
    print(invoke_with_timeout(1, really_long_function))
    assert(False)
except BaseException:
    assert(time.time() - t1 < 1.1)
    print("All good", time.time() - t1)

# Checking that classes are referenced and not
# copied (as would be the case with multiprocessing)


class X:
    def __init__(self):
        self.value = 0

    def set(self, v):
        self.value = v


x = X()
invoke_with_timeout(2, x.set, 9)
assert x.value == 9

我们也可以用信号来表示。我认为下面的例子会对你有用。与线程相比，它非常简单。

import signal

def timeout(signum, frame):
    raise myException

#this is an infinite loop, never ending under normal circumstances
def main():
    print 'Starting Main ',
    while 1:
        print 'in main ',

#SIGALRM is only usable on a unix platform
signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, timeout)

#change 5 to however many seconds you need
signal.alarm(5)

try:
    main()
except myException:
    print "whoops"

突出了

引发TimeoutError使用异常在超时时发出警报-可以很容易地修改 跨平台:Windows和Mac OS X 兼容性:Python 3.6+(我也在Python 2.7上进行了测试，它可以在很小的语法调整下工作)

最小的例子

>>> @killer_call(timeout=4)
... def bar(x):
...        import time
...        time.sleep(x)
...        return x
>>> bar(10)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
__main__.TimeoutError: function 'bar' timed out after 4s

正如预期的那样

>>> bar(2)
2

import multiprocessing.queues as mpq

from typing import Tuple, Callable, Dict, Optional, Iterable, List, Any

    def __init__(self, func: Callable, timeout: int):
        self.t = timeout
        self.fname = func.__name__

    def __str__(self):
            return f"function '{self.fname}' timed out after {self.t}s"

        except mpq.Empty:
            raise TimeoutError(func, timeout)
        finally:
            try:
                proc.terminate()
            except:

        import time
        time.sleep(x)
        return x

    print(bar(2))
    bar(10)

笔记

由于dill的工作方式，您需要在函数内部导入。

这也意味着如果目标函数中有导入，这些函数可能与doctest不兼容。你将会遇到__import__未找到的问题。

我怎么调用函数或者我怎么包装它，如果它超过5秒脚本取消它?

我发布了一个要点，用装饰器和threading.Timer解决了这个问题。下面是它的分类。

导入和设置兼容性

它是用Python 2和3测试的。它也应该在Unix/Linux和Windows下工作。

首先是进口。这些尝试保持代码的一致性，而不管Python版本:

from __future__ import print_function
import sys
import threading
from time import sleep
try:
    import thread
except ImportError:
    import _thread as thread

使用版本独立代码:

try:
    range, _print = xrange, print
    def print(*args, **kwargs): 
        flush = kwargs.pop('flush', False)
        _print(*args, **kwargs)
        if flush:
            kwargs.get('file', sys.stdout).flush()            
except NameError:
    pass

现在我们已经从标准库导入了我们的功能。

exit_after装饰

接下来，我们需要一个函数来终止子线程的main():

def quit_function(fn_name):
    # print to stderr, unbuffered in Python 2.
    print('{0} took too long'.format(fn_name), file=sys.stderr)
    sys.stderr.flush() # Python 3 stderr is likely buffered.
    thread.interrupt_main() # raises KeyboardInterrupt

这是decorator本身:

def exit_after(s):
    '''
    use as decorator to exit process if 
    function takes longer than s seconds
    '''
    def outer(fn):
        def inner(*args, **kwargs):
            timer = threading.Timer(s, quit_function, args=[fn.__name__])
            timer.start()
            try:
                result = fn(*args, **kwargs)
            finally:
                timer.cancel()
            return result
        return inner
    return outer

使用

下面这个用法直接回答了你关于5秒后退出的问题!：

@exit_after(5)
def countdown(n):
    print('countdown started', flush=True)
    for i in range(n, -1, -1):
        print(i, end=', ', flush=True)
        sleep(1)
    print('countdown finished')

演示:

>>> countdown(3)
countdown started
3, 2, 1, 0, countdown finished
>>> countdown(10)
countdown started
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, countdown took too long
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 11, in inner
  File "<stdin>", line 6, in countdown
KeyboardInterrupt

第二个函数调用将不会结束，相反，进程应该退出并返回一个跟踪!

KeyboardInterrupt并不总是停止一个睡眠线程

注意，在Windows上的Python 2中，睡眠并不总是被键盘中断中断，例如:

@exit_after(1)
def sleep10():
    sleep(10)
    print('slept 10 seconds')

>>> sleep10()
sleep10 took too long         # Note that it hangs here about 9 more seconds
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 11, in inner
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in sleep10
KeyboardInterrupt

它也不可能中断扩展中运行的代码，除非它显式地检查PyErr_CheckSignals()，参见忽略Cython, Python和KeyboardInterrupt

在任何情况下，我都会避免让线程休眠超过一秒钟——这在处理器时间上是一eon。

我怎么调用这个函数或者我把它包装在什么里面，这样如果它花费超过5秒脚本就会取消它并做其他事情?

要捕获它并做其他事情，你可以捕获KeyboardInterrupt。

>>> try:
...     countdown(10)
... except KeyboardInterrupt:
...     print('do something else')
... 
countdown started
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, countdown took too long
do something else
