Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/spotipy-dev/spotipy/issues/116

Every once in a while, a search never returns. It hangs, seemingly forever, until I have to kill my process and start over.

Is there a way to set a timeout value that can be passed along to the underlying requests object?

I had the same problem, at the end the problems was that I had a very high ping towards Spotify endpoint, and Spotify wasn't replying, it's weird, but that's how I solved. Try with a VPS with low ping to api.spotify.com

Thanks for the feedback (again). I'm running my app from my house, and don't have any intention of hosting it somewhere else.

Seems like the spotipy API could simply put a timeout on the 'requests' call and return if no reply comes back in sufficient time.

I know, but that's not how it works right now, I guess they are not interested in very small project, I tried contacting them but they didn't tell my why

I have created a fork and added a new option requests_timeout
https://github.com/alexey-v-paramonov/spotipy
So you can add a timeout on Spotipy initialization like this:
spotify = spotipy.Spotify(requests_timeout=10)

After that all Spotify requests will have that timeout.
