The popular Python “requests” HTTP library doesn’t have a default timeout. There’s a 2015 GitHub issue asking for a default timeout, if even an opt-in environment variable to avoid breaking API compatibility. There’s a lot of comments on the issue, but no commitment to implement or close as “won’t fix”.
