Unable to catch confluent-kafka-python timeout errors

Question

My confluent-kafka-python - version 1.7.0 producer code is as below

from confluent_kafka import KafkaError, KafkaException
def publish_data():

   try:

        producer.produce(
            topic=topic,
            value={"produced_epoch": produced_epoch },
        )
        producer.flush()
    except (KafkaError, RuntimeError, KafkaException, Exception) as e:
        logging.error(f'Error publishing to kafka : {e}')
        return False
    return True

While producing the code I am getting the below error in Kafka broker

I want to catch the REQTMOUT error and return False when error. But unable to do the same. Can anyone help me with it.
