Socket timeouts for HTTP connections (httplib)?

[Thanos Vassilakis]

Don't hack it.

This is easy and usually stable.

Your only possible complications will  be if you are using threads.

thanks thanos - i'll look at this too.  turns out 2.3 has socket timeouts -
i may be able to hack httplib in some simple way.

 With the httplib I use the classic signal.SIGALRM/signl.alarm combination.

 see the example on signal

 We use this successfully on the floor of a very big exchange.
