How to break time.sleep() in a python concurrent.futures

Question

I am playing around with concurrent.futures.

Currently my future calls time.sleep(secs).

It seems that Future.cancel() does less than I thought.

Answer 1

I do not know much about concurrent.futures, but you can use this logic to break the time. Use a loop instead of sleep.time() or wait()

for i in range(sec):
    sleep(1)

interrupt or break can be used to come out of loop.
