I use this method to increase the timeout using the REST API, so you may be able to translate it for the SDK. (sorry Python SDK isn't my strong point)

 

curl -X POST \
  'https://bigip1.local/mgmt/shared/authn/login' \
  -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "username":"admin",
    "password":"admin",
    "loginProviderName": "tmos"
}'

 

This will respond with a JSON body containing a token (token.token) Use this token on a second request to extend your timeout. If your token was ABCDEFGHIJKMLNOPQRSTUVWXYZ, your second request would look like this:

 

curl -X PATCH \
  https://bigip1.local/mgmt/shared/authz/tokens/ABCDEFGHIJKMLNOPQRSTUVWXYZ \
  -H 'Cache-Control: no-cache' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "timeout":"36000"
}'
