Unless I'm missing something, Deferred.addTimeout is really unhelpful in
terms on providing context about *what* timed out.
TimeoutError(<some number>, 'Deferred') just isn't that useful.
How come addTimeout doesn't let you specify a textual reason, or
otherwise provide some context about the timeout?
Am I missing something obvious here?
I don't know what kind of context do you need :)
foo.addTimeout(myTimeout, reactor, message='never heard back')
You can add your own errback and add your extra error handling there.
What's the must succinct way to get the above by adding an errback?
There is also onTimeoutCancel argument.
Pretty clunky to write a whole function for either this or the errback
just to change the useless 'Deferred' string in the current
implementation with something useful.
If there is anything missing from the API, feel free to send a pull
request in GitHub.
What's the likely turn around time from me submitting a PR to when it
ends up in a released version of Twisted that I can use?
