Hi,
Is it possible to define a timeout at the time of invoking another
service in a sync way?
I haven’t seen such an option in the docs, so I guess that it is not.
In that case, what do you think about making it possible? Would it be
something complex to achieve?
Regards,
Carles

I’ve got this project bookmarked
https://github.com/bhearsum/redo
and I’m planning to make use of it so that one should be able to do:
self.invoke(‘foo’, retries=5, timeout=4.0)
However, it’s done yet - perhaps you could have a look at it and start
using it manually? As in wrapping a call to self.invoke in a function
using the redo package? Would be cool to get your feedback and find out
if this package is something we need.
thanks,
In that case it would mean starting a monitor greenlet that would start
a target greenlet calling self.invoke.If monitor notices target doesn’t reply in N seconds, it returns an
error to the caller. Yup, that would work.
By the way, here’s a source of inspiration for that sort of spawning and
linking of greenlets:
