[issue14134] xmlrpc.client.ServerProxy needs timeout parameter

[Andrej A Antonov]

Andrej A Antonov added the comment:

ok, let's go to other side of this problem:

question: why default transport (xmlrpc.client.Transport()) is not setting value of timeout?``

answer: because *unknown* which value need to using by default.

in various cases programmer need various timeout. default value of timeout for default transport -- what may be this number?

may be value "300" for timeout of default transport (xmlrpc.client.Transport()) may be normal in *most_cases*. but this will brake legacy soft that using socket.setdefaulttimeout(...)
