tamekit allows limiting the time a block of code takes to run:
import tamekit
@tamekit.timeout_after(2):
def do_long_computation():
...
Above will raise a TimeoutError exception inside the decorated
function after 2 seconds. timeout_after also comes in context manager
form:
with tamekit.timeout_after(2):
...
Note that timeout_after() uses CPython specific API to get the job
done.
