There is a long standing issue, (or at least I consider it a poor feature some others consider it compliance with other existing tools), with a couple of python standard libraries that I would like to raise an issue for & PR(s) to address but when it comes to putting tests in place the failing test case can potentially crash the host machine, sometimes in an unrecoverable manner, due to the potential to generate an infinite size file.
Is there a way of proposing a change with tests that refuse to run in some situations or can be terminated based on time or resource limits being exceeded? Steve Barnes
