In selenium tests, you open a webpage using
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Firefox()
driver.get("whateverpage.org.com")
How can I set the timeout of this command for selenium version 3.8.0 and python 2.7.12?

If you want to ensure that an error is thrown if your page takes longer than expected to load, you can modify this by using this line of code: driver. manage(). timeouts().
You can try using some other property to locate the element such as CSS Selector or Xpath . Use explicit waits. This will ensure all timeouts happen after the given time. This should be declared at the start of the program before carrying out any tasks.
scriptTimeout. default WebDriver.Timeouts scriptTimeout(java.time.Duration duration) Sets the amount of time to wait for an asynchronous script to finish execution before throwing an error. If the timeout is negative, not null, or greater than 2e16 - 1, an error code with invalid argument will be returned.
To set the time out for Page Loading you can induce the set_page_load_timeout(seconds).
def set_page_load_timeout(self, time_to_wait):
"""
Set the amount of time to wait for a page load to complete
before throwing an error.
time_to_wait: The amount of time to wait
driver.set_page_load_timeout(3)
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException
driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.set_page_load_timeout(2)
try :
driver.get("https://www.booking.com/hotel/in/the-taj-mahal-palace-tower.html?label=gen173nr-1FCAEoggJCAlhYSDNiBW5vcmVmaGyIAQGYATG4AQbIAQzYAQHoAQH4AQKSAgF5qAID;sid=338ad58d8e83c71e6aa78c67a2996616;dest_id=-2092174;dest_type=city;dist=0;group_adults=2;hip_dst=1;hpos=1;room1=A%2CA;sb_price_type=total;srfid=ccd41231d2f37b82d695970f081412152a59586aX1;srpvid=c71751e539ea01ce;type=total;ucfs=1&#hotelTmpl")
print("URL successfully Accessed")
driver.quit()
except TimeoutException as e:
print("Page load Timeout Occurred. Quitting !!!")
driver.quit()
Page load Timeout Occurred. Quitting !!!

As per Python 3.x if we don't handle the exception the following log messages are observed :
raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.TimeoutException: Message: timeout
