Hi all. I have an application that's controlling Word via COM, and have situations where I'd like to set a timeout on those operations. Word might throw up an error message for example which stalls everything until clicked. In such a case I'd rather just give up, go and kill Word and start over.
My first thought was: why, I'll wrap the calls in a context manager that sets a SIGALRM. Then remembered Windows didn't support SIGALRM, and cried inside. Any tips on an approach to take to interrupt a COM call or set a timeout on it? Thanks in advance. --Stephen _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
