제3자 함수 호출로 인해 애플리케이션이 너무 오랫동안 차단되는 것을 어떻게 방지할 수 있습니까?

import threading
import time

# Define the function call that may block for extended periods
def long_function_call():
    time.sleep(300)

# Set the maximum execution time in seconds
max_execution_time = 10

# Create a thread to execute the function call
thread = threading.Thread(target=long_function_call, name="Long Function Call")

# Start the thread
thread.start()

# Set a timer to check for timeout
timer = threading.Timer(max_execution_time, thread.join)
timer.start()

# Wait for either the thread to finish or the timer to expire
if thread.is_alive():  # The thread timed out
    print("Function call timed out!")
    timer.cancel()
    thread.join()
else:  # Function call completed within the time limit
    print("Function call completed successfully.")
