... Oh. Yes, that's brilliant. The thought never occurred to me to let the kill_word code itself serve as my sigalrm and interrupt the blocking call. I just "with timeout(token, 5): document.DoSomething" and have the timeout contextmanager add/remove pending cancellations from a thread that chain-sleeps waiting for any to run out when any are registered. Works just fine so far. Thanks. --S _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
