Is there a command in Python that lets you say If <code> takes more than x seconds, break?

I think the module `signal' does something like this. Look it up in the python help file.

CODE

import time

limit = 10 #Or some other number that you want it to stop.

a = time.time()

while time.time()-a < limit:
#Actions to take

If you need the try and except, then I assume you can just put it in the loop?

No I think he belives it will hang on a certain command (such as raw_input) but he needs to break after a bit.

Yeah, it's an individual command. In this case it's a HTTPSocket GET command, but the essence is it's one command that takes time.

I'll look into the signal module a bit later; I've got to run right now.
