setsockopt and urllib

[pehr anderson]

Dear Frank, 

Timo has written an modification to sockets that 
adds user-controlled timeouts. This should meet
your needs.  You just import the module and, well
read the documentation in timeoutsocket.py

Timo is usually happy to provide help and feedback
on the use of his code. 
His email address is also int he source file.
