Hi, I use YouTube Data API ( http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/1.0/developers_guide_python.html http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/1.0/developers_guide_python.html ) to fetch videos and other youtube informations. Sometimes (not that often, but it happened) the python call "freezes" while waiting for youtube data, and this is a problem because it "freezes" my page. I tried a timeout decorator ( http://pypi.python.org/pypi/timeout/0.1.2 http://pypi.python.org/pypi/timeout/0.1.2 ) but I get this error: "ValueError: signal only works in main thread". A timeout could be useful to handle also other python libs (twitter, flickr etc) and avoid these blank pages when the external service does not respond. Has somebody faced this problem? Is there a solution? I'm using python2.4 and Plone 3.
