passing timeout argument in datastructure request

[beto-Sibileau]

Dear @dr-leo, while requesting data/metadata for EUROSTAT, long response times are reported. Thus, I'm interested in controlling the timeout argument for requests, how could I do that? Eg: for the metadata requested below:

import pandasdmx as pdsdmx
# exploring ESTAT
Estat = pdsdmx.Request('ESTAT', backend='memory')
# unmet health
dataflow_name = 'hlth_silc_08'
# dsd name
dsd_name = f"DSD_{dataflow_name}"
Dsd_estat = Estat.datastructure(dsd_name, timeout=5)

this is the error observed: TypeError: _request_from_args() got an unexpected keyword argument 'timeout'

Pass the time out argument when instantiating the request object, not when calling methods on it.

Thanks @dr-leo that makes sense and was my first try indeed. However, check it for yourself that this is not passed automatically for all queries as described in the documentation, eg:

import pandasdmx as pdsdmx
Estat = pdsdmx.Request('ESTAT', backend='memory', timeout=0.000000001)
dataflow_name = 'hlth_silc_08'
# timeout in the query below is not applied
Dsd_estat = Estat.datastructure(f"DSD_{dataflow_name}")

OK this looks like a bug I see two possible workarounds after instantiating the request object, use its time out property to set the desired value. Second pass a request session object upon instantiation with the desired time out value.

timeout should now - v1.8.0 - be passed to any request. Please reopen if needed.
