iterators

Available at PyPi

Provides a wrapper class TimeoutIterator to add timeout feature to normal iterators

Installation:

pip install iterators

See help of TimeoutIterator for all the features. Check tests for examples on how to use TimeoutIterator. See example tests below for basic usage

Example:

1. TimeoutIterator works like normal iterator:

   from iterators import TimeoutIterator
   
   def iter_simple():
       yield 1
       yield 2
   
   def test_normal_iteration(self):
       i = iter_simple()
       it = TimeoutIterator(i)
   
       self.assertEqual(next(it), 1)
       self.assertEqual(next(it), 2)
   
       self.assertRaises(StopIteration, next, it)
       self.assertRaises(StopIteration, next, it)
   

2. When timeout is needed, use like this

   def iter_with_sleep():
       yield 1
       time.sleep(0.6)
       yield 2
       time.sleep(0.4)
       yield 3
   
   def test_fixed_timeout(self):
       i = iter_with_sleep()
       it = TimeoutIterator(i, timeout=0.5)
       self.assertEqual(next(it), 1)
       self.assertEqual(next(it), it.get_sentinel())
       
       self.assertEqual(next(it), 2)
       self.assertEqual(next(it), 3)
       self.assertRaises(StopIteration, next, it)
   

3. Dynamic timeout adjustment

   def iter_with_sleep():
       yield 1
       time.sleep(0.6)
       yield 2
       time.sleep(0.4)
       yield 3
   
   def test_timeout_update(self):
       i = iter_with_sleep()
       it = TimeoutIterator(i, timeout=0.5)
       self.assertEqual(next(it), 1)
       self.assertEqual(next(it), it.get_sentinel())
       
       it.set_timeout(0.3)
       self.assertEqual(next(it), 2)
       self.assertEqual(next(it), it.get_sentinel())
   
       self.assertEqual(next(it), 3)
       self.assertRaises(StopIteration, next, it)
