requests.exceptions.ReadTImeout not caught

I've been having some issues with this piece of code, and I cannot figure out why.

When I run:

try:
     r = requests.get('https://httpbin.org/get',
                      timeout=10,
                      headers={'Cache-Control': 'nocache', 'Pragma': 'nocache'})
    r.raise_for_status()
    return r.json()
except (requests.exceptions.RequestException, ValueError):
     return False

NOTE: Host changed for privacy, the actual service is way more erratic/buggy.

I will occasionally get this error:

requests.exceptions.ReadTimeout: HTTPConnectionPool(host='https://httpbin.org/get', port=80): Read timed out. (read timeout=10)

I can't understand what has gone wrong;
I seem to be properly catching requests.exceptions.RequestException which is a superset/parent of requests.exceptions.ReadTimeout..

EDIT: It seems updating requests has fixed it.

It would be nice to have your error replicated, so far I tried code below, but it still does catch a timeout. 

import requests 

try:
   r = requests.get('http://httpstat.us/200?sleep=1000',
                     timeout=0.01,
                     headers={'Cache-Control': 'nocache', 'Pragma': 'nocache'})
   r.raise_for_status()
   print(r.json())
except (requests.exceptions.RequestException, ValueError) as e:
    print('Error caught!') 
    print(e)

prints:

Error caught!
HTTPConnectionPool(host='192.168.1.120', port=8080): Read timed out. (read timeout=0.01)

Even in a minimal form your are still catching requests.exceptions.ReadTimeout: 

try:
    raise requests.exceptions.ReadTimeout
except requests.exceptions.RequestException:
    print('Caught ReadTimeout')

My best guess is that your exception arises in some other part of code, but not in this example.
