[Pat Riehecky]

Is there a clean way to set a maximum runtime for an anaconda thread?

No, ThreadMgr is a pretty light framework. The code running in the
thread is responsible for shutting it down when done or raising errors
when there is a problem.

What are you trying to do that would need a timeout?

I've got a thread watching the network state, if the network never comes
up (because the user didn't ask for it) it sticks.

I'll just add a check to how long it runs

You could also use something like a threading.Event to signal the
thread that it can go ahead and shut down. Alternatively, if the
"sticking" is when anaconda's trying to exit, you could pass
daemon=False to the threading.Thread constructor which should make all
threads exit when the main thread does.
