python:相当于 SIGALRM 的 Windows

Question

我有这个装饰器:

def timed_out(timeout):
    def decorate(f):
        if not hasattr(signal, "SIGALRM"):
            return f

        def handler(signum, frame):
            raise TimedOutExc()

        @functools.wraps(f)
        def new_f(*args, **kwargs):
            old = signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, handler)
            signal.alarm(timeout)
            try:
                result = f(*args, **kwargs)
            finally:
                signal.signal(signal.SIGALRM, old)
            signal.alarm(0)
            return result

        new_f.func_name = f.func_name
        return new_f

    return decorate

该代码仅在 linux 上执行任何操作，但与在 windows 上一样，没有 SIGALRM。让此代码也能在 Windows 中运行的最简单方法是什么？

Answer 1

它不是很漂亮，但我不得不以跨平台的方式做一些类似的事情，我想到了使用一个单独的线程。基于信号的系统并不能在所有平台上可靠地工作。

可以将此类的使用包装在装饰器中，或制成 with 上下文处理程序。

YMMV.
