My new @fork decorator is perfect for this, which you get from http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9501, or wait for sage-4.5.1 (in 2-3 weeks). Code: @fork(timeout=1) def fac1(n): return factor(n) Usage: sage: fac1(2903482093840982) 2 * 15907 * 26203 * 3482971 sage: fac1(2^97+1) 3 * 971 * 1553 * 31817 * 1100876018364883721 sage: fac1(2^997+1) Killing subprocess 94648 with input ((1339385758982834151185531311325002263201756014631917009304687985462938813906170153116497973519619822659493341146941433531483931607115392554498072196837321850491820971853028873177634325632796392734744272769130809372947742658424845944895692993259632864321399559710817770957553728956578048354650708508673,), {}) which took too long 'NO DATA (timed out)' -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
