Expose a way to configure request timeout

[abe-101]

The python requests library supports adding a timeout to requests(docs - source code). Would it be possible to expose a way to configure the gocardless-pro-python client (or individual requests) to set a value for that timeout?

I'm opening this issue to ask if you are open to such a contribution, or if there’s already a way to do this that I’ve missed. Let me know if this is something you’d consider, and if you have any preferences for how it should be implemented.

Thanks!

Hi @abe-101 thanks for getting in touch, I'm sorry it has taken so long for us to reply. We're shifting to put more investment into our client libraries at least for a period, and this is something I've added to our backlog.

It's a bit tricky for us to accept external contributions because our libraries are generated using an internal tool that isn't public.

If you're able to supply any use cases or context for timeouts, that will help us prioritise (and build the right thing!).
