Bug Description

Currently there is no way to override the 10 sec timeout period for the wait_select_single() introspection method. An additional timeout parameter would enable the default to be overriden so that longer timeout periods can be used where needed.

This was required during writing an autopilot test for installing an app on the device. Here the download and install process can easily take longer than 10 seconds, so it would be useful to be able to extend this wait period accordingly.

I agree, there should be a public API to do this. Until we get around to adding one, here's a workaround you can do:

my_obj._poll_time = 30 # 30 seconds
my_obj.wait_select_single( ... )
my_obj._poll_time = 10 # remember to reset it again afterwards!
