setuptools._vendor.more_itertools.more.time_limited

Yield items from *iterable* until *limit_seconds* have passed. If the time limit expires before all items have been yielded, the ``timed_out`` parameter will be set to ``True``. >>> from time import sleep >>> def generator(): ... yield 1 ... yield 2 ... sleep(0.2) ... yield 3 >>> iterable = time_limited(0.1, generator()) >>> list(iterable) [1, 2] >>> iterable.timed_out True Note that the time is checked before each item is yielded, and iteration stops if the time elapsed is greater than *limit_seconds*. If your time limit is 1 second, but it takes 2 seconds to generate the first item from the iterable, the function will run for 2 seconds and not yield anything.
