Python 2.7.15 doesn't respect swallow_exc

[ferdinandvanwyk]

Running the following simple code with python 2.7.15:

from stopit import ThreadingTimeout                                                                                     
                                                                                                                        
def func():                                                                                                             
    with ThreadingTimeout(1, swallow_exc=True):                                                                         
        import time; time.sleep(2)                                                                                      
                                                                                                                         
if __name__ == '__main__':                                                                                               
    func()

I get the following exception being thrown:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 8, in <module>
    func()
  File "main.py", line 5, in func
    import time; time.sleep(2)
  File "py_envs/py2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/stopit/utils.py", line 87, in __exit__
    self.suppress_interrupt()
  File "py_envs/py2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/stopit/threadstop.py", line 65, in suppress_interrupt
    self.timer.cancel()
  File "homebrew/Cellar/python@2/2.7.15_3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 1066, in cancel
    def cancel(self):
stopit.utils.TimeoutException

When I run with python 3 I don't get any output as expected, because I've swallowed the exception. Any ideas?

I had a similar issue. For me it was just the stopit log messages getting written to my console. This cleared it up for me:

import logging
stopit_logger = logging.getLogger('stopit')
stopit_logger.setLevel(logging.ERROR)
