I am trying to get timeouts to work in python3.2 using the concurrent.futures module. However when it does timeout, it doesn't really stop the execution. I tried with both threads and process pool executors neither of them stop the task, and only until its finished does a timeout become raised. So does anyone know if its possible to get this working?
import concurrent.futures
import time
import datetime
max_numbers = [10000000, 10000000, 10000000, 10000000, 10000000]
def run_loop(max_number):
print("Started:", datetime.datetime.now(), max_number)
last_number = 0;
for i in range(1, max_number + 1):
last_number = i * i
return last_number
def main():
with concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor(max_workers=len(max_numbers)) as executor:
try:
for future in concurrent.futures.as_completed(executor.map(run_loop, max_numbers, timeout=1), timeout=1):
print(future.result(timeout=1))
except concurrent.futures._base.TimeoutError:
print("This took to long...")
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
