Setting timeout in smtplib

Question

How can I set a timeout for a gmail server in smtplib.SMTP()?

My code:

import smtplib

server = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com" ,587)
smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com" ,587)

`server = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com" ,587, timeout=60)` ? — sal, May 14 '19 at 04:56

From documentation you can set the timeout parameter value in the call, such as:

server = smtplib.SMTP("smtp.gmail.com", 587, timeout=60)
