Timing out a function in windows(python)

Question

I want to implement a function which should be able to timeout a function after particular time.

In Linux, SIGALRM is there to use, but in windows i could not find any thing like that.

Is there any way i can achieve this in windows? Can it be done without decorator??

Please Note Am a newbie in python.

Unfortunately this isn't something natively built into windows. What you can do is a workaround whereby you create your own thread handler.
