R. David Murray added the comment:

This is more of a documentation issue than a code issue.  To be mathematically 
precise, the text and error message should read "a non-negative value".  
Alternatively the text and error could be changed to report that timeout may 
not be negative, which would probably be clearer.  (Note that timeout is a 
float value, and thus the proposed code change would only break code, it would 
not change the functionality in any significant way.)
