what is the best method to timeout this connect calling?

I have tried this but I believe the asyncio is too old and timeout is not implemented yet. I cannot find what asyncio version is installed. I can only use asyncio.wait_for, but connection without await is not reliable anymore.

Python 3.10.

except asyncio.TimeoutError:
    print(f"Timeout waiting drone.connect")
    return False

AttributeError: module 'asyncio' has no attribute 'timeout

res = await asyncio.wait_for(drone.connect(system_address="serial:///dev/ttyAMA1:921600"), 10)

The link to the Python docs says: "New in version 3.11."

@Jai-GAY You apparently have Python 3.10. Did you try updating your Python to >= 3.11? 🤔
