loops is a Python 3 module which provides several utilities for asynchronously controlling loops.

This is loops version 1.2.1 (semver). The versioned API includes the functions timeout_single and timeout_total and the Loop class, as described in their docstrings.

Requirements

• Python 3.2

Usage

• The Loop class is a cubclass of threading.Thread which allows looping over an iterable and stopping this loop externally without having to wait for the iterable to generate its next value.
• The timeout_total function is a wrapper around an iterable which stops the iteration early if it takes longer than a given timeout.
• Similarly, the timeout_single function is a wrapper around an iterable which stops the iteration early if any single value takes longer than a given timeout.
