Unlike generic test timeouts, it breaks down test lifecycle into three stages and allows you to control each one separately via command-line options, pytest.ini configuration, or per-test markers. It uses SIGALRM signals to enforce these limits and disables timeouts when running under a debugger.\n\nThe plugin is Linux-only and has been abandoned since 2019 with no active maintenance. It supports Python 2.7 and Python 3.4 and later, but has not been updated to track changes in pytest or Python's evolution. If you need phase-level timeout control on Linux and can accept the risk of an unmaintained dependency, it may still work; otherwise, consider whether a more actively maintained timeout solution fits your needs.","worth_installing":"No, unless you have a specific Linux-only use case that requires phase-level timeout control and can tolerate an unmaintained package. The plugin has not been updated since 2019, and there is no active maintenance or security support. For most projects, a maintained timeout plugin or pytest's built-in timeout mechanisms are safer choices."},"id":"pytest-timeouts","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-timeouts","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-timeouts.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pytest-timeouts/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-09-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pytest-timeouts","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Linux-only Pytest plugin to control durations of various test case execution phases"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3718049,"position":2517,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.1"}
