Hi I am wondering what is the safest method to set a time limit for function download_articles, for example, in the following code,

paper = newspaper.build('cnn.com')
paper.download_articles(timeout=10) # for illustration

or like "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2281850/timeout-function-if-it-takes-too-long-to-finish", using

with timeout(seconds=100):
  paper.download_articles()

And if I set the timeout following method this way, will the undownloaded url be downloaded next time (after rebuilding the paper)?

Thanks!
