How to Abort on-going execution of the Python function?

[Nick346-surf]

Hi,
Is there a way to cancel/abort a python function once it is called from CSnakes?
What is the recommended way of achieving such scenario? Any example?
Say for some reason the function is taking too much time and i want to cancel it to allow other functions to get executed.
Thanks in advance for any feedbacks

Async functions support cancellation tokens, so this would be the easiest way to achieve what you're asking.

Beside that, the same patterns as cancelling a function call in .NET apply, that is you would wrap it in a Task and use a cancellation token. for async that's all been generated for you and works nicely with Python's event loop API

Hello. I have a question. What if I’m trying to make a wrapper around a Python library that doesn’t support a cancellation mechanism by design? If it matters, here I’m talking about the Python SymPy library. So basically, I want to have the possibility to cancel some ongoing math calculation that takes too long. SymPy doesn’t support cancellation options, but maybe I can somehow run a Python function on a separate thread (I mean a Python thread) and after some execution time abort this thread? So my question is: is it possible to achieve this by using the CSnakes library? Thanks
