    Utility object for storing timeout values.

    Example usage:

    .. code-block:: python

        timeout = urllib3.util.Timeout(connect=2.0, read=7.0)
        pool = HTTPConnectionPool('www.google.com', 80, timeout=timeout)
        pool.request(...) # Etc, etc

    :param connect:
        The maximum amount of time to wait for a connection attempt to a server
        to succeed. Omitting the parameter will default the connect timeout to
        the system default, probably `the global default timeout in socket.py
        <http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/603b4d593758/Lib/socket.py#l535>`_.
        None will set an infinite timeout for connection attempts.

    :type connect: integer, float, or None

    :param read:
        The maximum amount of time to wait between consecutive
        read operations for a response from the server. Omitting
        the parameter will default the read timeout to the system
        default, probably `the global default timeout in socket.py
        <http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/603b4d593758/Lib/socket.py#l535>`_.
        None will set an infinite timeout.

    :type read: integer, float, or None

    :param total:
        This combines the connect and read timeouts into one; the read timeout
        will be set to the time leftover from the connect attempt. In the
        event that both a connect timeout and a total are specified, or a read
        timeout and a total are specified, the shorter timeout will be applied.

        Defaults to None.

    :type total: integer, float, or None

    .. note::

        Many factors can affect the total amount of time for urllib3 to return
        an HTTP response. Specifically, Python's DNS resolver does not obey the
        timeout specified on the socket. Other factors that can affect total
        request time include high CPU load, high swap, the program running at a
        low priority level, or other behaviors. The observed running time for
        urllib3 to return a response may be greater than the value passed to
        `total`.

        In addition, the read and total timeouts only measure the time between
        read operations on the socket connecting the client and the server,
        not the total amount of time for the request to return a complete
        response. For most requests, the timeout is raised because the server
        has not sent the first byte in the specified time. This is not always
        the case; if a server streams one byte every fifteen seconds, a timeout
        of 20 seconds will not ever trigger, even though the request will
        take several minutes to complete.

        If your goal is to cut off any request after a set amount of wall clock
        time, consider having a second "watcher" thread to cut off a slow
        request.
