It depends on what method you are calling? From what module? Some methods, take a timeout parameter (aka socket). You could call your method in a thread and a timeout on the thread. http://docs.python.org/library/threading.html#module-threading This very much depends on what you trying to do, as to what is the best way to go. Maybe you could give a little bit more information about what you are trying to achieve and what modules/methods you trying to access. Since you posted to win32 mailing list, I am assuming you are running this windows. hth.
