[Pyobjc-dev] Call Objective C method with timeout

[st c. <stc...@gm...>]

Sometimes when I call the print function on a WebView it gets into an
infinite loop -- it's a WebKit bug.

It would be nice if there were a way to call a method but give it a
time out: if you take more than 2 seconds, just give up. I assume
something like this could be done with threads and
setjmp/longjmp/ptrace. I'm aware the state of the webview in question
would be dubious afterwards.

Has anyone done this?

Thanks,

Sengan
