Hi all, This is to announce the first release of pytest-timeout, a plugin which will interrupt long running (i.e. blocking) tests. This is particularly useful when running the tests on a CI host. When a test is interrupted the stacks of all threads are dumped to stderr, which helps you to locate the reason for the blocking. If the system supports SIGALRM then the test itself is interrupted using pytest.fail() and other tests continue to run, otherwise the stack(s) are dumped to stderr and the process exists immediately.
The plugin is available from the cheeseshop: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytest-timeout and the code lives at bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/flub/pytest-timeout/. Feel free to provide any feedback or report issues.
