Want to prevent your Python code from running indefinitely? This video explores 3 methods for implementing timeouts:

1. Using the "signals" module - Set an alarm and define a handler to raise an exception when the time limit is reached.
2. Utilizing "multiprocessing" - Create a separate process for your code and limit its execution time using the join method.
3. Leveraging the "timeout_decorator" library (3rd-party) - The simplest approach! Decorate your function with a timeout value and it will automatically handle timeouts.

The video clarifies the difference between timeouts and sleep functions, highlighting that timeouts allow for continued execution until the specified limit.
