https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest-timeout/blob/7d4c413a6344edd8340628354419a324e68c6cb7/pytest_timeout.py#L440 Why not use sys.exit() to exit the program? It can exit normally without affecting subsequent cases.

The aim is to give as much guarantee as possible that the process will terminate. A plain sys.exit() does allow too many ways for the process to still not exit.
