Stop execution of a module - catosp - Sep-11-2018
Hello everybody,
I have the following problem:
I have two scripts:
The main script:
import multiprocessing
import time
import module
def runModule():
module
def main():
p = multiprocessing.Process(target=runModule)
p.start()
time.sleep(10)
p.terminate()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()and the module script:from time import sleep
for i in range(100):
print i
sleep(1)The problem is the running module doesn't stop after 10s.Is there any way to solve this?
Thank you !

from time import sleep
import multiprocessing
import time
def runModule():
module()
def main():
p = multiprocessing.Process(target=runModule)
p.start()
time.sleep(10)
p.terminate()
def module():
for i in range(100):
print (i)
sleep(1)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

I don't want to include the code from the module inside the main file. What I want is to run the module file and to stop execution from the main thread.
RE: Stop execution of a module - Axel_Erfurt - Sep-11-2018
your file and method has same name(module)
try
from time import sleep
def run_module():
for i in range(100):
print (i)
sleep(1)from time import sleep
import multiprocessing
import time
import module
def runModule():
module.run_module()
def main():
p = multiprocessing.Process(target=runModule)
p.start()
time.sleep(10)
p.terminate()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()

Thank you very much! Can I apply this to my program without calling a specific function from the module? If I replace the module with a python program can I run it and stop it from my script ?
