Limit the function execution time

=================================

This module provides a decorator which runs the function in a separate

multiprocessing.Process and sends SIGKILL after the specified timeout if the

function didn't complete.

Requirements

------------

* Python 3.7+ (needed for multiprocessing.Process.kill)

* tblib (to pass the traceback from separate process)

Install

-------

```bash

pip install kill-timeout

```

Usage

-----

```python

from kill_timeout import kill_timeout

limit_in_seconds = 5

@kill_timeout(limit_in_seconds)

def long_running_function(**parameters):

    """Function which makes some computations

    It could take too long for some parameters.

    """

    ...

try:

    result = long_running_function(iterations=9001)

    print("Function returned: %r" % result)

except TimeoutError:

    print("Function didn't finished in %d seconds" % limit_in_seconds)

except Exception:

    print("Function failed with its internal error! Its original traceback:")

    raise

```
