Timeout in paramiko (python)

I'm looking for a way to set a timeout for this:

transport = paramiko.Transport((host, port))
transport.connect(username = username, password = password)
sftp = paramiko.SFTPClient.from_transport(transport)
sftp.get(remotepath, localpath)
sftp.close()
transport.close()

The connection timeout can be set with the timeout parameter (that indicated the number of seconds for the time out as described here) of the connect function.

ssh = paramiko.SSHClient()
ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
ssh.connect(host, username=username, password=password, timeout=10)
sftp = ssh.open_sftp()
sftp.get(remotepath, localpath)
sftp.close()
