[TurboGears] Stopping a runaway request in TG 1...

[Sam]

In the administrative back end for 1000 Corks our admins can do some
complicated pattern matching. Occasionally a pattern match will be so
inefficient it seems to more or less bring cherrypy to its knees for
minutes at a time.

I'd like to have some way of timing these requests out and returning
an appropriate message.

Can I do this?

General wisdom on this is: delegate this task to a suborocess
(preferrably via the new multiprocessing module, or pyro), and
terminate that if it didn't return after x seconds.

You can also use ctypes to expose thread killing functions from your
OS, but that's a slippery road better not to walk down.

Diez...

Sounds like a great idea. I'll give multiprocessing a try. I've used
it before, just never in conjunction with TurboGears.

Thanks
Sam
