How to set connection timeout in SQLAlchemy

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how to set the connection timeout in create_engine(), so far I\'ve tried:

create_engine(url, timeout=10)

Answer 1

The right way is this one (connect_timeout instead of connection_timeout):

create_engine(db_url, connect_args={'connect_timeout': 10})

...and it works with both Postgres and MySQL

ps: (the timeout is defined in seconds)
