Adding timeouts to Internet sockets

How have developers added timeout behavior to Internet sockets in Python? I
am developing an application that uses ftplib, and I need to timeout if the
server is unavailable, etc. I note that Tim O'Malley has a package out
(http://www.vex.net/parnassus/apyllo.py?i=87800233) that very cleverly and
transparently does this (or seems to). Has anyone used it? My application
will be mission-critical, and I would prefer to use whatever is considered
the current best practice.
Please reply via email, as my access to newsgroups is limited. Any help on
this matter is greatly appreciated!
