timeout for pygnmi subscribe generator

[slieberth]

Hi Anton,

many thanks for providing this library.
Actually this request is more a question than an issue ...

I consider using pygnmi for a testing environment and for this use case I would need a timeout for subscribe generator.

I have implemented a wrapper class (based on kthreads and queues) and that serve my needs
https://github.com/slieberth/gnmi_subscribe_timeout/blob/main/gnmi_subscribe_timeout.py

Do you think a timeout for the pygnmi subscribe generator?
( I can contribute, if you wish ... )

beste regards
Stefan

Hey @slieberth ,

Thanks for reaching us out. What you have shared seems reasonable. We are open to all the contribution, so you are welcome to do thta. I am thinking, we could try to add that to telemetryParser class directly. Not sure, but i think worth a try.

So that we understand the goal: if tje device doesn't push telemetry when it shall, you propose to terminate session to avoid waiting for infinity. Is my understanding accurate?

Best,
Anton

Hi Anton,

yes, the goal is a void waiting for infinity in case there is a malfunction on the router side.

I am happy to contribute, pls give me 1-2 weeks for a proposal

regards Stefan
