How can I set timeout settings in Python?

You can set timeout settings in Python using the timeout parameter in functions like requests.get() or by using the signal module.

Can you show me an example using the requests library?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import requests

try:
    response = requests.get('https://example.com', timeout=5)
    print(response.text)
except requests.exceptions.Timeout:
    print('The request timed out')

What if I want to set a timeout for a socket connection?

You can set a timeout for a socket connection using the settimeout() method. Here's an example:

import socket

s = socket.socket()
s.settimeout(5)
try:
    s.connect(('example.com', 80))
except socket.timeout:
    print('The connection timed out')
