In my python code I have
Class Download()
Download() can download a txt file with link given.
Now I want to call the Download() class say 3 times with 3 different links one by one and give the system 2 minutes.
I would want to have the output of the Download() in a variable appended. If in the event of timeout one class can't complete the task it will be ignored and not added to the master variable.
I saw some coding with Thread Timeout etc.
I know people might down vote me for duplicate and all but I just want to get a direction on how I approach the whole thing.
Could someone give some quick hint on how I run the class with Threading with arguments passing and give a timeout and get output after the timeout of completed instances. Thanks in advance.
def timed_join_all(threads, timeout):
start = cur_time = time.time()
while cur_time <= (start + timeout):
for thread in threads:
if not thread.is_alive():
thread.join()
time.sleep(1)
cur_time = time.time()
if __name__ == '__main__':
for thread in threads:
thread.start()
timed_join_all(threads, 60)
I saw this code in some QA but can't figure where Threads came from and can't figure how to get the Thread output in a variable.
