Request: Specify a longer timeout, similar to pip --timeout <seconds>

Feature Request

For devices with unstable internet connection, poetry can fail when using install or update. This can be solved by exporting PIP_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT. But since in the roadmap specifies that pip will be dropped in the future a command line option for specifying this option could be implemented. The option could be implemented as follows:

poetry install --timeout 120 # 120 seconds of timeout
poetry update --timeout 60 # 60 seconds of timeout

I'd also like to see this. I'm having significant issues trying to use poetry with a private repo (I've followed the documentation and several associated issues), and it's difficult to test variations with the timeout is set too high. I really like the features that poetry provides, but it's a little disappointing that some of the basic features of pip are not available in v1.

I was able to workaround the timeout via export PIP_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT=100 via Stack Overflow.

Still, would be nice for a direct implementation in Poetry 👌

Seems that PIP_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT does not work for publishing:
Read timed out. (read timeout=15)

Found the place to fix it:
poetry.utils.constants
There the constant timeout is set to 15s. This is way too short.

Duplicating onto #6009 as it better reflects the current state of the code.
