I have been looking all over the place for a good timeout script that can kill a thread if it's been active for more than X seconds, but all the examples I've seen have flaws that don't always stop the thread. Using thread.join(x)
ends up defeating the purpose of it being a thread.
The only decent example I have found is Timeout on a function call and that one is not without its flaws..
Anyone know of a better way to do this?
