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

For a db2 backend via ibm_db2_sa + pyodbc:

I looked through the source code, and there seems to be no way to control the connection timeout as of version 0.3.5 (2019/05/30): https://github.com/ibmdb/python-ibmdbsa

I'm posting this to save others the trouble of looking.
