Hi Tom,

You can adjust the amount of time that sockets will wait, by using
socket.setdefaulttimeout():

    http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-socket.html#l2h-2615

The documentation there shows how to make sockets never time out.  That
being said, if an operation takes too long, you may want to catch that.


Best of wishes to you!
