Building upon this previous question: Timeout function if it takes too long to finish,
I have to use a closed-source library that doesn't use timeouts in its calls to requests (and doesn't accept a timeout parameter).
The function I'm calling outputs directly to stdout.
Instead of monkey-patching the library, I'd like to wrap the function call in such a way that stdout is monitored for changes. If stdout doesn't receive an input within X seconds, a TimeoutError is raised.
How do I go about doing this?
