Why do you have an infinite loop without a programmatic method of
escape?

Because we are programmers, not God, and cannot foresee everything.
Sometimes we try out a loop only to see if it is infinite or not, sometimes
we try out a loop to find out other things, and find it is infinite even
though we were not looking for it. So, if you can answer the question,
please do so. Being stuck in an infinite loop myself, I am very interested.

Perhaps not very good ones, at that.

Very funny.

You should at least be able to see that you may need a way out of an
infinite loop, especially when debugging.

A truly remarkable paragraph.

First of all let me clarify - I am not talking about having a bunch of images loaded all at once (or preloaded) and then controlling the display of the images after that point -- I know that can be done. I am talking about controlling the loading of those images themselves. I was told that the only way to do this was to dynamically write the html code via javascript and put time delays inbetween the dynamic creation of that html such as:

If you are not familiar with the halting problem, I will not go into it in detail but it states that it is impossible to write a program that can tell if a loop is infinite or not. This is a fallacy built on the assumption of mythical infinite all powerfull machines. In reality we deal with finite machines that are capable of two states in a loop, they either terminate, or repeat themselves. In the mythical halting problem scenario...

Hi, I'm trying to run a process from a python script. I need the exit status of that process but do not care about its output, so until now was using os.system(). But it turned out that the process often went into an infinite loop, so I wrote a SIGALRM handler. Unfortunately the code I came up with is quite kludgy: import subprocess .... try:
