True

limit(iterator, lim)

Iterate on the lim first elements of iterator.

find_exe(basename)

Find the path to an executable by its base name (such as ‘gpg’).

The executable can be overriden using an environment variable in the form NAME_EXECUTABLE where NAME is the specified base name in upper case.

The count or timeout must be specified; both can be simultaneously. The default delay is five seconds.

Parameters

• count (int) – Maximum number of iterations this loop can produce. Can be None for unlimited retries.

• timeout (float) – Maximum number of seconds to try the loop for.

• delay (float) – Delay in seconds between each iteration.

>>> class C:
...     @classproperty
...     def VERSION(self):
...         return '3.3'
...

'3.3'
>>> C().VERSION
