I was writing up a response saying I didn't know how to do so, but while doing so I thought it might be possible to emulate sigalrm with a timer thread which fires an other signal. I might investigate the feasibility of such an approach. I do worry about gratuitously using signals however, the simple timer thread with os._exit() may always have to stay as the fail-safe option. If anyone has any other ideas about this please let me know.
