Cap the wait time in readblock.m #1255

Closed arungiridhar closed 8 months ago

arungiridhar commented 1 year ago

To prevent extremely long delays in querying Python's state after it has finished its computation, it would be useful to put an upper bound on the exponentially increasing wait times in readblock.m.

Original thread where this was a problem leading to 2-hour wait times after running SymPy for 2 days: https://octave.discourse.group/t/symbolic-pkg-has-a-strange-delay/4611/
