If you're using invoke_shell(), the returned object is a Channel, so  
you can call set_timeout() on it.

If you're using exec_command(), it's less obvious: The returned file  
objects have a "channel" attribute that you can use to access the  
underlying channel, and set a timeout that way.

Hope that helps,
