    Very few languages have that.

    Actually, it could be made to work for Python, but it would have to
be carefully designed.  Something that raises an exception in another
thread the next time the thread blocks would have relatively sane
semantics.  You couldn't raise an exception on a compute-bound thread,
only at block points (locks, I/O, long system calls.)
