python主线程主动杀死子线程_是否有可能从python中的子线程中杀死父线程？

我在

Windows上使用

Python 3.5.2.

我想运行一个python脚本,但保证它不会超过N秒.如果确实需要超过N秒,则应引发异常,程序应退出.最初我以为我可以在开始时启动一个线程,在抛出异常之前等待N秒,但这只会设置为向计时器线程抛出异常,而不是父线程.例如：

import threading

import time

def may_take_a_long_time(name, wait_time):

print("{} started...".format(name))

time.sleep(wait_time)

print("{} finished!.".format(name))

def kill():

time.sleep(3)

raise TimeoutError("No more time!")

kill_thread = threading.Thread(target=kill)

kill_thread.start()

may_take_a_long_time("A", 2)

may_take_a_long_time("B", 2)

may_take_a_long_time("C", 2)

may_take_a_long_time("D", 2)

这输出：

A started...

A finished!.

B started...

Exception in thread Thread-1:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\threading.py", line 914, in _bootstrap_inner

self.run()

File "C:\Program Files\Python35\lib\threading.py", line 862, in run

self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)

File "timeout.py", line 11, in kill

raise TimeoutError("No more time!")

TimeoutError: No more time!

B finished!.

C started...

C finished!.

D started...

D finished!.

这甚至可以远程实现吗？我意识到我可以这样做：

import threading

import time

def may_take_a_long_time(name, wait_time, thread):

if not thread.is_alive():

return

print("{} started...".format(name))

time.sleep(wait_time)

print("{} finished!.".format(name))

def kill():

time.sleep(3)

raise TimeoutError("No more time!")

kill_thread = threading.Thread(target=kill)

kill_thread.start()

may_take_a_long_time("A", 2, kill_thread)

may_take_a_long_time("B", 2, kill_thread)

may_take_a_long_time("C", 2, kill_thread)

may_take_a_long_time("D", 2, kill_thread)

但是,如果调用may_take_a_long_time(“B”,60,kill_thread),则此方法将失败.

所以我想我的TL; DR问题是,对主线程本身设置时间限制的最佳方法是什么？
