## Summary
The flaky test `test_run_with_too_short_timeout_iterating` failed
intermittently because, when iterating a background command's output,
the Python SDK sets the HTTP stream `read` timeout to the command
`timeout` — so it races the server's own `deadline_exceeded` response.
When the client read timeout won, a raw `httpcore.ReadTimeout` leaked
out instead of a `TimeoutException`. This PR maps
`httpcore.TimeoutException` to `TimeoutException` in
`handle_rpc_exception`, so callers get a consistent timeout error
regardless of which side fires first, plus unit tests for the mapping.
It also adds a JS parity test (JS was never affected — connect-es always
normalizes timeouts into an already-mapped `ConnectError`).
## Usage
```python
cmd = sandbox.commands.run("sleep 10", timeout=2, background=True)
try:
for _ in cmd:
pass
except TimeoutException:
print("command timed out") # now raised reliably, no raw httpcore.ReadTimeout
```

What is E2B?
E2B is an open-source infrastructure that allows you to run AI-generated code in secure isolated sandboxes in the cloud. To start and control sandboxes, use our JavaScript SDK or Python SDK.
Run your first Sandbox
1. Install SDK
npm i e2b
2. Get your E2B API key
E2B_API_KEY=e2b_***
3. Start a sandbox and run commands
import Sandbox from 'e2b'
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
const result = await sandbox.commands.run('echo "Hello from E2B!"')
console.log(result.stdout) // Hello from E2B!
4. Code execution with Code Interpreter
If you need runCode(), install the Code Interpreter SDK:
npm i @e2b/code-interpreter
import { Sandbox } from '@e2b/code-interpreter'
const sandbox = await Sandbox.create()
const execution = await sandbox.runCode('x = 1; x += 1; x')
console.log(execution.text) // outputs 2
5. Check docs
Visit E2B documentation.
6. E2B cookbook
