python - requests timeout for the whole request?

I am crawling many sites for data, but some links are freezing my script permanently. This shouldn't happen, since I used a timeout like this : ``` page = requests.get(url,timeout=4) ``` I want a timeout for the whole request. So when the request take 4 seconds it will stop trying. I searched `requests` documentation, and I found this code for read and connect timeout: ``` r = requests.get(url, timeout=(3.05, 27)) ``` However, I get a type error when I try and use it: ``` Timeout value connect was (3.05, 27), but it must be an int or float. ``` How can I get the timeout I want?
