Python: Raise Timeout exception in the event of times out of request


Write a Python program to send a request to a web page and stop waiting for a response after a given number of seconds. If a request times out, raise a Timeout exception.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import requests
print("timeout = 0.001")
try:
    r = requests.get('https://github.com/', timeout = 0.001)
    print(r.text)
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    print(e)    

print("\ntimeout = 1.0")    
try:
    r = requests.get('https://github.com/', timeout = 1.0)
    print("Connected....!")
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
    print(e)

Sample Output:

timeout = 0.001
HTTPSConnectionPool(host='github.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x0BD7B0D0>, 'Connection to github.com timed out. (connect timeout=0.001)'))

timeout = 1.0
Connected....!
