Revision 7. </p> <p>Two functions: one which waits for a certain PID to terminate (with optional timeout), another one which checks whether a process with a given PID is running.</p> <p>This was extracted from <a href="http://code.google.com/p/psutil/">psutil</a> project which also provides a Windows implementation.</p> <p>Timeout functionality is implemented as a busy loop and it was inspired by <a href="http://bugs.python.org/issue5673." rel="nofollow">http://bugs.python.org/issue5673.</a></p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577028 by <a href="/recipes/users/2608421/">Stephen Chappell</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/asynchronous/">asynchronous</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/generic/">generic</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/process/">process</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/timeout/">timeout</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/universal_code/">universal_code</a>). Revision 6. </p> <p>This recipe uses the <code>multiprocessing</code> module to kill functions that have run longer than intended. Unlike other recipes that use threading, this code is designed to actually kill execution that has continued for too long. This implementation does not rely on signals or anything that is OS specific, so it should work on any system on which you might need generic timeouts.</p>
