In pyxrootd, most calls take a timeout argument. Using `ping` to test if a server is alive, it does not seem to respect the timeout:
```python
from XRootD import client
import time
fs = client.FileSystem("localhost:9999")
tic = time.monotonic()
status, _ = fs.ping(1)
toc = time.monotonic()
print(f"Got status {status} in {toc-tic:.3f}s")
tic = time.monotonic()
status, _ = fs.ping(10)
toc = time.monotonic()
print(f"Got status {status} in {toc-tic:.3f}s")
```
gives
```
Got status [ERROR] Operation expired in 15.002s
Got status [ERROR] Operation expired in 15.001s
```
