> result = pythonwhois.get_whois(workurl) I don't know pythonwhois. Does it invoke the whois commandline tool or implement the protocol itself? If it implements the protocol you can try and set a timeout, e. g. import socket socket.setdefaulttimeout(1) If it uses subprocess to invoke whois and uses the communicate() method to fetch the data you can tweak the code and provide a timeout, see https://docs.python.org/dev/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.Popen.communicate If none of the above suggestions work tell us the exact Python version you are using and provide a link to the pythonwhois module so that we can try to come up with something else. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
