Hi, I just added a --timeout option to Lib/test/regrtest.py: if a test (one function, not a whole file) takes more than TIMEOUT seconds, the traceback is dumped and it exits. I tested it on 3 buildbots with a timeout of 5 minutes and it worked as expected: see #11727 for examples.
It would be nice to have this feature enabled on all buildbots. We may set a default timeout of 15 minutes. If a test takes more than 15 minutes, something goes wrong! Some buildbot use a timeout of 1200 or 3600 seconds for regrtest (all tests). But the build slave should be able to override the default timeout. What do you think?
