====

The pymsql library currently supports a timeout for connect, reading, and writing, but there isn't a specific timeout for ping.

There's an interesting interaction between this library and a more high-level one, such as sqlalchemy. Many of the default classes for connection pools in sqlalchemy often allow for a pool_pre_ping option, which will ping the connection while checking it out of the pool. If the connection does not respond or is determined to be unconnected, then the pool will fetch a brand new connection.

Conceptually, this pre-pinging is essentially acting as a connect, however there is no way to timeout quickly if the connection is hangs or is in a bad state. One could set the read/write timeout to be low, but in practice this is difficult to do, as once a transaction is open or a connection is in use, then its reasonable to tolerate some read/write lag.

While it isn't necessarily the responsibility of this library to provide a ping that uses the connect timeout, it would be great to have an option to do so.
