Is there a way to pause a script while waiting for user input for a certain amount of time in python?

Question

Ok so I am making a script that requires me to check in every so often and if I don't, it will automatically terminate. Is there any way for the script to ask me to make an input but if I don't input within say 10 seconds then the script will terminate?
