<!-- ABOUT THE PROJECT -->
## About The Project

<img src="./.github/banner.png">

This is a Python package that provides decorators for adding timeout and retry functionality to your functions. With just one line of code, you can easily set a timeout for your function and choose to retry it any number of times in case of timeout.

<!-- GETTING STARTED -->
## Getting Started

This is an example of how you may give instructions on setting up your project locally.
To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps.


### Installation

#### Build from source

1. Clone the repository

```sh
git clone github.com/radioactive11/pyrtout
```

2. Run the following command to install the project
```sh
python3 setup.py install
```


#### Install using `pip`

To install the function using pip, run

```sh
pip3 install pyrtout
```

<!-- USAGE EXAMPLES -->
## Usage

### Basic Usage

- To set timeout for a function, import the module using `from libtimeout import Timeout`.

- Create a Timeout object class with the following parameters:

        `timeout_limit`: The time limit for the function to run (in seconds). Default is 10 seconds.

        `retry_limit`: The number of times to retry the function in case of timeout. Deafult is 0.

- Use the `bind` method to bind the timeout decorator to the function you want to set timeout for. This returns a new function with the timeout decorator applied.

- Call the new function with the same parameters as the original function.

*Example*

```python
from libtimeout import Timeout


timeout_ = Timeout(timeout_limit=5, retry_limit=2)

@timeout_.bind()
def my_function(a, b):
    # Do something
    return a + b

my_function(1, 2)

```
<br>

### Advanced Usage

By default, the timeout decorator raises a TimeoutError in case of timeout. You can change this behavior by passing the following parameters:

timeout_exception: The exception to raise in case of timeout. This must be a subclass of Exception.

timeout_handler: The function to call in case of timeout. This must raise the exception specified in timeout_exception.

*Example*

```python
from libtimeout import Timeout

class CustomException(Exception):
    pass

def custom_handler():
    # do something like deleting partial downloaded files etc.
    raise CustomException("Custom exception raised")

timeout_ = Timeout(timeout_limit=60, retry_limit=2, timeout_exception=CustomException, timeout_handler=custom_handler)

@timeout_.bind()
def download_large_file(url):
    # Download file
    return

```
